somebody's dungeon

Today I have a sad story to relate
you see I'm staying with mom these days
hooked into her internet
so I could be with all my friends.
Yesterday a storm finally came
brought with it alot of rain,
on top of that some lightening too
yep you guessed, the router blew.
Wiped out the connection to my pc
I'm dead in the water now you see
not only that the drivers gone
don't know where it went in the storm.
I just know it no longer resides
there with the ethernet inside
cpu_guru my brother dear
well it's takes a lot to get him here.
Have to beg and plead, and call him honey
cause he knows I have little to no money
so I tried to fix the problem myself
well I might as well put it on a shelf.
Cause my computer is a mess right now
I fixed it good, I did somehow
now I've got drivers for stuff I don't need
a mess, a mess, a mess indeed.
so I'm stuck using moms pc
which makes her awfully mad you see
she plays cards and chats all day
and doesn't care what I might say
so I'm sad, yes I'm really blue
just thought I'd share with all of you
my state of mind on this day
guess there's nothing left to say.

WhiteRose - your tale well told. Lighting is bad news with these computers, or any other electronic gear...

I understand every whimper and tear,
so sorry fate's messed with your gear!


I must say, though, the tackling you did
is something for which I just ran and hid.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Anne, I'm so sorry your computer crashed, I can understand the frustration you feel and I hope one of your looved ones can chip in and repair your own computer so both you and your mom can be happy! (sigh) This is very well-said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Poor Anne....   Oh how my little chipmunk heart bleeds for you...
I know exactly what you've been through
how hurtful a dead computer can be
I cry...real tears,  I do...for thee.

Well...at least you wrote an adorable poem out of your pain
and please, Anne...send us a bit of that rain

Maybe I should send my husband, David to help you...he's a computer genius, you see
and then I could tag along with him and I could get to meet thee

Well, Anne
Hope you get the thing back together soon.
Many here miss you already.

Best of luck.

Trust me I've been there and share your grief.
Nice flow and construction.
