Marsha broke her 'puter I'm sure she is distressed But I can't help but giggle Cause now she has to rest Solitary confinement Is what she'll have to do Can you imagine Marsha Without her yoo-hoo you No more internetting No more poets write Without her computer She'll have to sleep at night To help in her decision to make the 'puter well she went ahead, deleted all the files marked dee ell ell She took it to the fixers They laughed aloud with glee For when she tried to mend it She broke it more, you see Don't you try to fix it Next time Marsha dear Or you will find the IT world Grinning from ear to ear She borrowed a replacement I'm sure that she must find Without all her net friends She nearly lost her mind But it's just a loaner Until her son returns Next time has a puter I'm sure she'll live and learn She will be more gentle And treat it with respect For computers are like weeds That thrive on her neglect Be sorry for our Marsha For she must now confess Without her own computer Her friends will feel the stress Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

I likes. A very playful little piece you've got here! A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground |

This is too cute. My friends son deleted important files on their computer and it crashed. Too funny. Cold hands means a warm heart |

My husband deleted the dee ell ell file on his computer, too. That's why I don't let him touch mine. |

I laughed and laughed at this one, Keth... When I first started using a computer, I kept messing mine up...its amazing that it survived at all. This was before I met David and after my first husband was too sick to give me any guidance. The computer I have now, is in excellent hands because David is one of the "fixers" Thats what he does for a business...so every time I break something...he fixes it. He's very handy to have around...but not just for my computer...  ~ hugs from across the worldLyra |

Keth beloved heart sister ohhhhh treachery your name is Keth. Isn’t it a good job I adore you? Otherwise I might just be forced to give you three more workshops to run, simultaneously Now is this really cricket to tease me so? Is it really funny when my ‘puter won’t go? I won’t say it’s amusing because my darling Keth My comp died completely it was wounded unto death It’s all right you laughing but I’m telling you That when your data’s gone you’re in an awful stew Okay laugh on but I’ll tell you this my friend That I’ll be laughing darling I’ll get you in the end How often must I tell you don’t make fun of me? You know the situation doesn’t deserve hilarity So you think it’s funny, well it isn’t worth a grin And if you don’t stop laughing I’m gonna do you in This is your last warning stop your sniggering If you don’t stop it now a new song you will sing You’ll be singing blue notes from now to eternity I warned you beloved sister not to laugh at me Marsha   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Her computer misbehaved today It took and hid her words away. Now there's nothing it will do, Except return a beep or two. She pressed a key and got it wrong, This blinking cursor came along And pushed her words right off the screen, Just as though they'd never been. Drunk on words, the one eyed sot, Went and gobbled up the lot, burped and beeped, it's flickering stare, plainly said it didn't care. A mean and spiteful thing it is, Those words she wrote were never his, to keep and hide, but only lent, and goodness knows just where they went. It's just a know all box of switches, that hypnotizes and bewitches that lures her hard won poems and words, her nouns, her adjectives and verbs, into unseen electronic jaws, that eats them up without remorse. There it gloats with not a worry, doesn't even say it's sorry, It's lost her words and her affection, She hopes they give it indigestion. Kethy...your poem is great....one of the best I've read lately..... [This message has been edited by Toerag (07-09-2002 10:00 AM).] |
