Damn Solar Flares

Damn solar flares made me freak out Swallowed my gum and made me choke Up the proverbial creek without a paddle Think I soiled my jockeys, no joke Envisioned I was going to lose all my data Doomsday was hanging over my head My sweetie hid the crow bars and hammers Feared I'd bash my head until dead Turned out to be not quite that serious Lost the Internet for just a couple of hours Happened when I was having some fun Curled up in the corner and cowered But I'm okay now, thank you for asking Though I'll probably never be quite the same Now I back up every twenty-three seconds Modern technology's a scary game ©Jack Ellison 2012

Such a funny poem! I know the feeling, that's for sure. Technology is ever growing, quite exciting! Can be overwhelming and scary for some. Always, Laura

The heat over whelms us before we cool down. Then we always end up feeling just like a clown. Twenty-three seconds and the world goes to hell. I'd like to be an auctioneer and sell, sell, sell. The interwaves of modern days can make your blood just boil. But better that than ending up 6 ft down in the soil. :) Have a day. :)
