Computers – A Poem

now I like computers but I’m not sure
they like me,
I can’t seem to get along
with this new technology
it’s all hard drive this and scuzzy that,
I’m sure this stuff was designed to make me look a pratt

all I want to do is send me mate to simple
hi hello,
but the modem ain’t plugged in, I’ll have to go below,
now I’ve plugged it in,
bless-ed, blinking wires,
I’ve typed it out and
press send mail,
but a password it requires

I’ve dug the password out
from my paper password stack,
hooray it’s been accepted
but damn, it sent it back

bigBillyburton1469@FSnet.com,
it’s so complicated thats why I get it wrong
after 14 goes, six typed mails, I send the email
proper
I’m dreading that reply,
in case I came a Cropper,

hours go by,
I check the mail and still still there’s no reply
computers got me nerves on edge I think I’m going to cry
after 4 days and 16 hours a message I receive,
it says
hello ugly, an insult I perceive

after trying too hard and getting no joy I’m feeling quite alone,
I’ve packed up the computer, I think I’ll use the phone.
