'tween computer blow-ups an' dental torture, ain' been a happy camper. O H, well. Leas' I got y'all. Always a funny
side, right? R i g h t??

P S: If you know a B. Gates, tell 'im I said. . .um, never mind. . .


 

 


                        Holding Pattern


Some Expletive Deleted tried to kill my PC.
Computer Guy went an’ ethered it off to his lair.
This laptop has Vista, ayiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeEEE
[Note:  make a sign:  Beware of the Bear!]

A computer is not, like, a drug to me.
Think I was hooked, for pity’s sake.
These only look like tears on my cheeks.
I only used from Sunday to Sunday.

Now that’s established, I gotta admit
‘s’better than a plane for seein’ the world.
No jet fuel!  Uses bytes made of bits.
[Bits made of bytes-?   Motor url-?]

I don’t really have the heebeejeebees.
It’s a new exercise I saw on TV.
B
ut Computer Guy, please, please, please,
Tell me you’ve got a fix for me!!

Oh contrare'
Vista's B. Gates
Worst nightmare
Sadly you too
Have awakened in his bed
Only to find that
Your computer's really dead.

Fun write. Patrick

A wonderful sense of humor. This reads like a 21st century Marx Brothers scene.

It is indeed amazing how we have come to rely on the computer. I was without my internet connection for a few days and it took some real "adjustments." Thank you, Pea. Love and best wishes,

Ahhh ... poor baby,
Kinda like losing the windshield

Pea, I don't know what I would do without my computer, I wouldn't be able to read poetry that makes me laugh like this one. You are too much! Very cute poem. Thanks for sharing, we all can relate.

What a wonderful world we live in. Is there life after computer? Stay tuned for the end of civilized world as we know it, when the "Humals" try to claw their way back from almost destruction. "Humal:" Part animal, part human, characters in the next novel I will be writing after I finish the hard-boiled detective one. Sorry for the ad, just got carried away . . .

Technology: you learn to love it or hate it. Right now, I'm not so sure. Our computer picked up a virus somewhere, shuts down in the middle of whatever I'm doing, and I'm ready to throw the *expletive deleted* clear across Texas!!!! Agree with Paul D. Berube, (((Pea))) - think we're addicted. Having no job, being disabled, have no life. :( I feel your frustrations - very well penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
