Computer Symphony
“I don’t want a computer!” (I vehemently said)
“I’d rather you bought me a TV instead
I’m too old a dog to be learning new tricks
Music and Poetry’s where I get my kicks”
“Megabyte-Schmegabyte, it’s all greek to me
It would bore me to death, now just let me be!”
To make a long story short, I caved in at last
Now to tell you the truth, I’m having a blast!
The first week, I cried and ranted and raved
When I lost all the poems I thought I had saved
“That’s it” I cried and ran out of the house
Vowing never again to pick up the mouse
But the lure of the Web was too much for me
There were so many places for me to see
Game sites, health sites, chat sites galore
But that’s not for me, because I want more!
I look for good books, great music and such
Researching the Classics I love so much
And of course, being a poetry buff
I sit there for hours, typing my stuff
Who said an old dog can’t learn new tricks
I’m in another world with a few quick clicks!
So don’t bother to ring me, or come to call
I’m on the computer just having a ball!
