It's Broken

With no computer tying me down I'm at a loss just what to do. I've tried reading, crosswords, gardening writing poems and stories too. I've done woodwork, painting and cleaning things the home shines like a new pin. I've swept the paths and cleaned the windows and given the hedges a trim. When the computers been repaired once more I'll cut back on its use. No more hours of wasting time for me No more of that abuse. My nerves are in a better state My blood pressure's been reduced There's been no shouting at the screen with a face that's coloured puce. I can actually talk, so I've been told, in a calm and peaceful way. No bug eyed bellowing, sounding off or ranting through the day. I think I'm cured of computer sickness I'm human once again. So when that computer comes back home, I'll leave the thing alone. Really!

It's become a blessing and a curse, and so amazing what we get done when we don't sit in front of this screen. I've curbed my time back and I'm so glad I did.. There is a whole big world outside! Well expressed, Deric.
