One Single Impression: Inbox

...
I n b o x
Dad's inbox was full
nine letters to write
fifty-five to read
how did he ever?
My inbox is full
fifty thousand plus
e-mails here to cull
how will I ever?
Catching up is hard
some say can't be done
Dad lit a fire
I used the 'delete'
Two generations
apart by the years
harm done is trifling
we did what it took
