Diachronic Devolution

More inspiration, this time of a birthday nature, from Dinosaur Comics - this from April 20:

( cartoon inspiration behind cut )

***

I am special for what I know -
My idle passing notions;
I'm unique as the next fellow
And his/her ruminations!

What volumes have I forgotten?
What knowledge have I burgled
From the rising generation
That beats what they have gurgled?

Why, nothing not irrelevant,
Nor the least remarkable -
Except the feature that it can't
Be all that memorable.

The message, not so tongue in cheek,
Insightful yet short and sweet -
Always remember you're unique,
Just like everyone you meet.

I hope you're all having a wonderful Fourth weekend, and thank you all for the delightful birthday wishes!
