Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Got To Get a New Laptop

Just to let all you folks know
  that my good old keyboard's kaput
Can't f'gure out the reason why
  but eye (Gershon) can't type the letter eye

So for the next few days, an eye
  or an apostrophe w'll have to do
My poems may be sl'ghtly obtuse
  As Eye make for th's keyboard a noose

Michael Tor May 25, 2020 at 12:33 AM I think, you have come up with a clever way to adapt to a broken keyboard. Almost every four years I have to get a computer for one reason or another. I can relate to your frustration. Gershon Wolf May 25, 2020 at 4:13 PM Necess'ty's the mother of 'nevnt'on, they say! Thanks, M'chael! :) gw

Tom Cunningham May 10, 2020 at 3:01 AM Poor old Gershon couldnt type eye/ His laptop decided to die / It's had a good run/ But now it's no fun/ So a new one he'll have to buy/ Gershon Wolf May 10, 2020 at 1:15 PM Yup. You summar'zed 't perfectly. l hope to have a new computer soon. Thanks, Tom! :) gw

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 9, 2020 at 11:11 PM LOL! Well you solved that problem with style. Love it. xomo Gershon Wolf May 10, 2020 at 1:17 PM l see that small 'L' works for caps. Now, as for sem;colons. Hmm. Oh, well. Back to apostrophes for when l want to wr'te 'eye.' Thanks!! :) gw Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 9, 2020 at 11:32 PM Wonder ;f a semi colon would work. 1 have another idea for capitals. Gershon Wolf May 9, 2020 at 11:25 PM You know what?! After play'ng around w'th on-screen keyboards that d'dn't work r'ght and lots of other th'ngs that d'dn't pan out, Eye am k'nd of pleased w'th the result---for now. Th's 's NOT a forever solut'on! Thanks, Maureen! ~ Gershon
