You won't believe it, or maybe you will, my mother has mastered computerskill. She's writing letters and stories so nice, and unexpected, with little advice. She bought a new one with Windows-XP, and got an account for internet free You know she is ninety and keen as hell She's waiting for email, this I can tell Getting connection is taking some time I'm telling you all in this little rhyme. She phoned the company, told them the truth, to get their buds out and lay off the booze. That she was ninety and time was too short, for waiting too long, that she got real bored. That she could be dead tomorrow or ever, she wanted internet, now or never. The man, he promised to do what he could, he would tell his men, yes indeed he would. And so she sits there, awaiting at home, for the moment she is allowed to roam. She's always refering to your replies, on her birthday poem, oh how the time flies. The moment she's able to internet, she'll roam the blue pages, be sure of that. A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... Want to use the pics on my website? Just send me a mail and I'll give you the link. [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (02-06-2002 08:33 PM).] |

Let's hear three cheers for MOM !!! Hip-Hip-Hooray! Hip-Hip-Hooray! Hip-Hip-Hooray! No dilly-dallying around when you've reached ninety! And I'll bet she'll have a story poem or two about her daughter. Looking forward to it. "As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it." Wendell Berry |
