Computer

I fell in love with a computer
Not for the sex, for it is neuter
It came without name
Oh my! What a shame!
I googled one and up came Luther.

Limericks are funny, Cherl, but deep down there is usually a thin layer of 'serious' thought! Thank you for the lovely comments. ~ Regards // paul

lol...i fell in love with my computer for a week, then it decided to give me issues, 5 years later i still have it though! Nicely crafted limerick! :)

Paul Callus
Date: 2/21/2016 12:37:00 PM

Sandra, I have only had 2 computers in around 15 years; they both served me well, but I have also had problems. Now I don't know what I'd do without one! Thank you for reading and liking:) Regards // paul

you do have a witty, funny bone, paul... enjoyed this comical techno sketch!..huggs

Paul Callus
Date: 2/21/2016 6:56:00 AM

Thank you, Nette; perhaps the title you gave to your limerick would have fitted this one, too:) I have a love-hate affair with my computer, so that's where this idea came from! Hugs // paul

I wonder what your inspiration for this was. At first I thought "Luther" was a euphemism for something else, but now I'm thinking it's just the name of your computer ... perhaps my mind is in weird places at the moment ... lol!

Paul Callus
Date: 2/21/2016 6:49:00 AM

To be honest, I did not realize it was just ONE limerick till I was about to post my entry! I had two that complimented each other, and the title was "What's in a Name?". As for Luther...it's a name that can mean 'free', thus free to choose its own gender...Thank you for the interest:) Regards // paul
