PC Woes












PC Woes



Well its all hooked up,or I hope it is

This is all so new to me

It says right here to push this button

To turn on my PC



This cant be right,whats that sound?

It sounds like a fan to me

Did I just install Central Air

Instead of a PC





  





Oh here we go,the screen lights up

It says Windows 98

But this is the year 2003

Lord this is so out of date



The manual says to take the Mouse

And click where it says START

I dont see anything that looks like that

Do I have all the parts?





  





Now I have it figured out

This Mouse is not a Pest

Its this little thing that slides along

Atop my cluttered desk



I clicked START,a window popped up

Saying Settings,Help and Find

The last one will be handy

To help me find my mind





  





Whats all this on the screen

Pictures with funny names

So many things to remember

I know I'll go Insane



With nervouse hand,I take the pointer

And click to go online

I use one eye to take a look

Not sure of what I'll find





  





Oh good Lord what have I done

Windows pop up everywhere

I close one out,another pops up

Appearing out of thin-air



My son walks in,He's 8 years old

And sees I'm a nervouse wreck

He takes the mouse from my clinched hand

And says "Let me take care of that"





  





Click,Click,Click and the windows are gone!

Back into the thin air.

I look into his face

He's smiling from ear to ear



He said mom,there's one rule

It's simple dont you see

In order to work this thing

You have to be smarter than the Machine..

This is the cutest poems that I've come across here at PostPoems.

Two weeks ago I downloaded a program to help speed up my online connection. Unbeknownst to me, it came with hidden parasites that completely knocked me off of the web.

After two weeks of struggling and researching the web from my computer at work, I finally, miraculously, got my computer up and running again. WHEW! Thought I was gonna have to lay out cash for a new one.

Keep up the good work!
