…………………Steve Jobs
……(Feb.24, 1955 – Oct.5, 2011)

No answer: pancreatic cancer robs
This day the world, of genius, Steve Jobs,
Innovator, cap’talist, like mobs
Protested there on Wall Street (commie fobs).

The apple’s knowledge swallowed by Steve Jobs
Gave birth to Apple in a small garage.
To wit: the world of tech pulses and throbs,
Free enterprise, not law, creating jobs.

His sudden loss from the grenade Death lobs
Gives pause to all for sadness, some for sobs.

I’m a little older than Jobs but as an electronics technician and later Computer Engineer and programmer he was one of my inspirations. My first computer bought at great expense in 1982 was an Apple 2E and I still have it in working order, a beautifully crafted machine. A very good poem which i will also put a link to on Face Book.
