And You Wonder Why I Am Not E-Mailing You Part 1

Does the whole world need hearing aids Or am I just that Dumb I was trying to get hooked to the internet But I was sure something was wrong "I've got you signed up. Now just hang up the phone And redial the technicians Just follow their instructions and you're on." So I hang up the phone Go to the computer room And since it isn't wireless I check out the phone jack. Whoa, something isn't right There is no cord to the phone jack And thus none to the computer By heck. I call up the tech and he says "Don't worry about a thing That's my job to connect you To the phone line." "But" I try to say "You don't understand I'm not connected to the phone line." "That's my job," said he "Just follow my directions and you will soon be." "But I think I need help." "That's why I'm here" said he "I'll connect you if you Just follow my lead." So I shut up and he walks me through the steps, "Just hang up the phone And push START And you will be on your very own."

So true. I just want to add they always say, "It's easy!" Somehow, it never it. I got a good chuckle out of this one. Thank you for the day brightener and for your kind words regarding my poetry. Have a good day! Glad to have you back at The Soup! Karen

Technology changes every day. I have so many gadgets and doo-dads I don't even try to fool with them. Luckily for me, I have teens that can take care of all that. Thanks for sharing. Milt
