My computer is not working
It is crashing everyday
I ran a diagnostic
It said evrything was OK.

There must be a germlin
Hiding deep inside
Playing with the wires
And reseting it on the fly

My car is being stuborn
It just doesn't sound quite right
I took it to my mechanic
He said everything was fine.

There must be a germlin
living in my car
Toying with the light and gages
And making a strange new sound.

My tv remote is acting strange
Channels flipping by themselves
I have checked had it checked
And all they say is it works fine.

There must be a germlin
Sittin beside the remote
Changing the channel's
And hiding the remote.

There must be germlins
Where we work and live
Getting into everything
And causing quite a mess

So next time somthing
Just doesn't work right
Think about that germlin
Smiling back at you with spite

You are a great poet when those same words touch your heart first.

Dear Wilf:

Sorry to hear you are having so many problems!!  Hope nothing too serious.

Interesting little name, Germlins.  Little bugs

Cute poem - and sometimes helps to put things in perspective. If we can smile at little problems, then bigger ones don't seem to get so inflated.

Love

Ah, most enjoyable.  I have been there / done that.  I agree there are Gremlins out there just messing with us.  Thank you for the read.
