Roses are red - but my screen is blue...
Like the depths of my feelings - embedded in you.

I lovingly touch you, in each secret place,
yet throes of my passion you calmly erase.

And added to that is repeated frustration -
"This program's performed an illegal op'ration"!

Is that how you treat one who offers her heart?
Who thinks of you always when we are apart?

Today I see red, and it's not from the day -
and thanks to your actions, my hair is more grey.

So don't even mutter, and don't you dare whine!
Dear computer, you're getting no sweet Valentine!

How cute! I sometimes feel the same way...but I think I'll put those feelings aside and be nice to my computer tomorrow.

Lary, you are too clever for words, but you really have to talk nice to them, or they won't give you what you want.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

GO for the real thing, you can only get so much from this screen! Loved this.

I love it! LOL. But I don't think they mind the threats... I swear every day I'm going to hoist mine out the window or put my foot through it... It just sits and smirks, knowing it's in control. *G* Thanks for the grins!

When my computer tells me I've performed an illegal operation I feel like strangling the idiot that wrote that program...it should say "sorry try again" or something to that effect..hope you have a nice valentines day..James
