Prompt: If you got to live inside a video game world, which one would you choose?

Now, here’s the rub. I have never played a video game, it’s not something people in their mid seventies do.

The prompt asks which game I’d choose to reside,
A question that fills me with curious pride.
But I must confess, with a smile and a shrug,
I’ve never played one—not a poke or a plug.

In my mid-seventies, it’s easy to see,
That gaming is not where you’d look to find me.
So I’d pick a world that I know from my chair,
Like Pong—just two paddles, a ball in the air.

I’d live in that box, with its blink and its beep,
A world that is simple and easy to keep.
No quests to complete, no confusing controls,
Just bouncing a ball between two little poles.

The graphics are plain, not a pixel is grand,
But I’d never get lost in a far-distant land.
So hand me my cane and I’ll happily stay,
In Pong’s little world, where I’ll bat the ball all day.
