In real life, I'm prickly
sometimes quite defiant
but here upon the internet
I'm Y2K compliant    

Relationships within my life
often make me cross
seems they're all wanting windows
while I'm operating DOS    

You and I together
a new love soon to start
but first I need your background
to microchip my heart    

If I were a computer
and reason balanced risk
then when I'd loved and lost again
I'd just de-fragment disc    

After years and years of marriage
when all about me looked a fright
would you still caress me
and love me megabyte    

My love is an adventurer
and highly do I rate
he likes to snatch at my wood leg
while playing software pirate    

you're arrogant, with pride
with knowledge like a CPU
but I think, I might decide
you really stink,see,PU  

In the early seventies
I fanned it with the Trekkies
but with information overload
my friends now are 'puter techies


Last one in haiku

Snow, snow and more snow
Data irretrievable
Blank screen and blank mind

< !signature-->

"It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures;
but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

  This was very interesting to say the least.  I'm glad your Y2K compliant.  If you had not been, we may never have seen this gem.
  I hope you have enough memory on your PC to keep posting your poetry. If not, then this would be a shame.  You may have to go out and purchase a mainframe.

ggrn You mean you have to have memory to post! Wow I didn't know that thanks for telling me  . Great that means that both the puter's and my memory are shot.

Juls Thanks for loving this piece of little nonsense from me.

  I know that memory does not post(LOL), I was just trying to get into your little cliche game.  I probably should have said keyboard and now I wouldn't be ashamed.

ggrn.
You needn't be ashamed. I have a friend who does that to be when I state the obvious. She goes all gushy and I retract or ROFL. I liked your reply. Truly.
