I hate my computer sometimes
Want to throw it in a corner
I'm really flipping here
When I've done nothing else
but sit behind the darn screen
Then I say
'What the hell are you doing
Don't you have better things to do
Look at your drawers, your cupboards
They'll get a person all confused
Shouldn't you better start cleaning up
Before Heaven is calling on you
No decent woman should leave behind a mess'
Yes...and then I say 'darned' again
Because I want to do so much more
I want to be creative
I want to think up rhymes
All I do is reading e-mails and writing letters
And all the words that flow in my mind
Won't come out
Then I could cry you know
Because they keep hiding in my head
Yes, I hate him, but I love him too
It's just all that time he's taking...
And time is the one thing I haven't got

Well Muys, in case no one has told you computers and poetry are very addictive. LOL!
Once you turn your computer on, it is too late. So, I know what you mean. Cause I have a whole lot of things I should be doing. Hey, it will still be there tomorrow. LOL!

I know sweet Mom, we all have that feeling sometimes.
Just keep writing your lovely poems, I love to read them as well as to translate them.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Muys, this is such a wonderfully honest piece, sweet friend, I too regret sometimes being on the computer so much because I have no friends that live close to me and wish now I could have one and go out with him or her! (sigh) This is wonderfully said, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Muys, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I love your computer too, Muys...and I am so glad that you are as addicted to it as I am.
I think people used to keep their houses a lot cleaner before there were computers...because of precisely what you express in your poem.
What we really need, is a computer which will clean our house while we are busy at our usual computer...writing and posting poetry.

Hi, muys! I LOVE your computer. It has allowed me to meet an adorable lady from another country I would have probably never known....and for that I am grateful.

Give your computer a big knuffel for me!!!

Only to get the message that you've performed an illegal action. Then that little voice comes on and says, "good-bye"
Say what!!! I think it's trying to tell me something.

Cute poem Muys!!

What a cool lady you are! I can relate to the love/hate relationship with the computer. I feel exactly the same way!
I really enjoyed your poem and hope you keep writing for many years to come.
I look forward to reading more from you.

Dear Muys... I know the feeling!!! My children teached me how to use the computer... they always told me not to be afraid because you can't do anything wrong on a computer... so I started and things didn't work out so I had to ask my son or daughter for help... the first thing they said to me was always: "Mom!!! what did you DO???" so you can do something wrong on the computer afterall!!

Muys,

For 91, YOU LOOK GREAT!

I understand what you mean about the computer consuming so
much of our time! But we just can't help it!
