Computer Symphony

“I don’t want a computer!” (I vehemently said) “I’d rather you bought me a TV instead I’m too old a dog to be learning new tricks Music and Poetry’s where I get my kicks” “Megabyte-Schmegabyte, it’s all greek to me It would bore me to death, now just let me be!” To make a long story short, I caved in at last Now to tell you the truth, I’m having a blast! The first week, I cried and ranted and raved When I lost all the poems I thought I had saved “That’s it” I cried and ran out of the house Vowing never again to pick up the mouse But the lure of the Web was too much for me There were so many places for me to see Game sites, health sites, chat sites galore But that’s not for me, because I want more! I look for good books, great music and such Researching the Classics I love so much And of course, being a poetry buff I sit there for hours, typing my stuff Who said an old dog can’t learn new tricks I’m in another world with a few quick clicks! So don’t bother to ring me, or come to call I’m on the computer just having a ball! Copyright© Beatrice Boyle For Talkin Technology contest. (All rights reserved)
