Jan Allison Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

It's Simply Not Pc

My finger hovers
Shall I turn you on today
You lie there tempting me
I need to know what buttons to press
But when I press those buttons
You respond immediately and burst into life
Every Wednesday you leave me little messages
I try to ignore them but you are so persistent
You want to update
I want to write
I press any key to continue
And you ignore me and update anyway
My husband is fed up with the distress you cause me
He has a cunning plan to fix you forever ...
No more automatic updates
From now on you and I can live together in perfect harmony
I can press the right keys to update you when it suits ME
Now I am in complete control!

Steve Mcclellan March 29, 2015 at 5:23 PM Hi Jan, that's a great feeling to get one over the auto update process ! I used to think my laptop was possessed as it would burst into life at 2am once a week to update. Doh... that taught me not to leave it in sleep mode :) Steve Jan Allison March 29, 2015 at 5:27 PM It is such a pain especially if you want to use the PC and it has a massive update to do - now I can control it not the other way around:-) hugs jan xx
