Computer Training
I took my father
Out into the garden
And banged my head
Against the brick wall
Three times
While he was saying
That the azaleas
Were doing fine.
When I banged my head again,
He told me the grass
Needed cutting
And the fence
Was too low.
When I banged my head once more
My father became concerned
And asked me why
I banged my head so.
And I told him that this
Was a metaphor
For teaching him
How to use a computer,
And he said
That I was just as crap
At gardening as he was
At computers
And that even brick walls
Have feelings.
