At the Apple Store

I couldn’t keep on putting off An update to my phone; With apps no longer working, I was in a retro zone. But when I tried to update I was rapidly deterred, For the message I kept getting was “An error has occurred.” So I made a quick appointment At the nearest Apple store – Walking distance, early morning, Not a real unpleasant chore. Though they didn’t see my name (Despite my confirmation text), Since the store was very empty, I became a happy “Next!” The technician was delightful – She compared me to her gran, Who, like me, of any changes To her phone was not a fan. Up to this point I was smiling ‘Til the update was complete, Then things fell apart and suddenly I had to face defeat. For my cellular went haywire And my phone could only work Within distance of a WiFi, Not a universal perk. Which is when they sent in Edward, Who was helpful, patient, kind And prevented me from losing What’s remaining of my mind. Still, of course, I had to upgrade, Purchasing a brand-new phone Which, to me, is overwhelming (Though I’m sure I’m not alone). I won’t bore you with the details, But I left the store at last, As I struggle with the future, Me – a creature of the past.
