The Computer Ate My Poem
it's 7 AM,
I've been up all night
sorting my thoughts
for my soupmates
and I came up
with a lengthy poem
which I thought
expressed my sense
of loss, on the
death of my dear father...
turned to be a long
narrative ballad
(or Whatever!!!)
and it took me
quite a while...
well, just before
I was to go to part 2
it disappeared
before my sight...
did I depress a wrong
tab, in my rush
to get to bed???
all I know, is that,
somehow, my poem
is now well dead..
so my friends,
be careful....
cause you never know...
what poems
your computer...
had rather eat than show.
