I Want My PFA
or
(Will I ever learn to read the directions first?)

For days and days, and by unknown ways
I couldn’t sign onto Adults
It made me near crazy, sitting here lazy
When I should’ve been finding a job
Poor PdV had more emails from me
Than I usually write in a month
Till she became despondent, threw me to Ron
Whose jargon ate me for lunch.

But, somehow I waded through, figured out what to do
Seems my cookies were a mess
I deleted much, enabled that…until I found myself at last
With migraine and success
Back once more at Adults, hanging my head, I heard the shouts
It was such a simple question
Been asked it before, a 1000 times or more
When will I first learn to read the directions?

Reminds me of the old modeler's addage- "when all else fails, read the instructions." and or my own version- "If you want to make a really good model (paint a canvas, et al) do two. You will have figured out at least the majority of pitfalls after the first." lol

Thanks Sunshine and ATeloman. Are you the only 2 getting this? I think I'll change the title.

This is very clever, and applies to most of us sometimes, I guess. I do love the image of Ron's jargon eating you for lunch! Might have to sign into Adult some day just for the experience! LOL

i am with SEA...don't have a clue...but love the poem...reminds me of me...I had my computer for over a year, and when finally turning to Help for a solution to something I was trying to do...I had to laugh...my computer told me "Please wait...preparing Help for first time use"
thanks for the smiles

JLR, I love this. Ron tried to tell me about my "cookies" and I had no idea I had cookies! They are still crumbled some place, but as long as I don't get hungry, I won't look for them. I really like this!
