About to Lose my Wits

I think that I have never seen a thing as vexing as a computer screen Page after page I type and type then one wrong click, out they’re all wiped System won’t let me upload and submit I’m about to lose my wits And when I download a doc, it’s impossible to save Damned system will send me to an early grave So, I’ve thrown the whole kit-and-kaboodle out the window* Only now, where did my candles and matches go… _______________________________________________ *replacing computer files with manual files, in a file cabinet.

One, two, three... TOSS IT! Don't worry; yo'll instantly feel like the biggest idiot on the planet. ~ Gare N. Tee

I have had a few “masterpieces” lost that way! I feel your pain and need to follow suit.
