Richard D Seal Poet I do not know?

Hiya Folks

Hiya Folks

Hiya folks, I’m here, not sure
For days I have been trying
To break the code of techno door
With which I have been vying 

I did quite well, at the start
I passed the log in stage
But then it seemed to fall apart
Not sure if its my age

All was going well with me
Till came to my profile
I filled and stabbed the submit key
But nothing would compile

It was time to use my brain
Was hard work I will admit
Several times I tried again
But just would not submit

I fired an email off to plead
To end my misery
Two days later, yes indeed
Reply was sent to me

It could be this, it might be that
No wiser was I now
Perplexed, confused, here I sat
Still wondering as to how

Another mail was swiftly sent
A screenshot they would need
With no idea what that meant
I grudgingly agreed

I asked a girl, who put me right
She showed me there and then
And then upon that very night
I sent it off to them

But I was bothered by the fact
That it turned out so small
I wondered how they would react
And was it use at all

So I was sitting here at wait
When itching fingers thought
I’d write a line or two though late
About that which I sought

I thought I’d be up on the screen
Then found it not to be
An obstacle was in between
The fault could still be me

It said to read the FAQs
So this I duly did
In hope that it would pay its dues
And of this pain me rid

Advised to ask the members I
If problems couldn’t sort
And on them thought I could rely
When they gave me their thought

But soon it was I realised
That this could not be done
I’d not be before your eyes
Till submit it had run     (Derrrr)

Another mail was returned
Which brought things to a halt
And from this I duly learned
It was my age at fault

And now this the ender
But I’ll blame technology
And I feel a proper member >>(only for the most subtle thinker) 
As I’m sure you would agree

Andrea Dietrich October 27, 2019 at 11:17 AM back at your first post again. So do you think you got the complete hang of this place now? Even now, I am not quite sure about that myself.

Tom Arnone June 1, 2016 at 10:00 PM Practice makes perfect -- at any age. Enjoyed your techno-support tale. Just out of curiosity, what were you trying to compile? ;-)

Eileen Manassian March 24, 2014 at 3:28 AM Came back to read your first poem, and some of the comments. This is a lovely poem....yes, blame age when all else fails. i do it all the time in class when I forget names...

Timothy Hicks May 28, 2013 at 11:43 PM I see technology hates you as well! Join the club of Electronics Enemies Anonymous... ha ha. This was sure zany and creative for a first post... I loved all the drama (though in all honesty if I was in the real situation I don't believe I would love it much then!).

Suzanne Delaney March 26, 2013 at 12:45 PM This was a clever way to deal with your techno-frustrations.....I must admit it takes a bit o navigating. I have already committed some 'soup-sins' by over-posting...not knowing I was jammming another page link. Here I was quietly playing and posting some poems while others were saying, Oh no! Not another one so we live and learn. Any way you seem to have tamed that old computer to your will. Have a smashing day, SuZ

Painted Hunter March 25, 2013 at 12:04 PM Ha...nice one, Richard.

Lucilla Carrillo March 14, 2013 at 8:32 PM Hi Richard: I like your poem, but don't feel like the Lone Ranger. you are not alone. when i first came I had a lot of problems. Little by blittle I worked them out. Welcome to the Soup. Many blessings. Lucilla

Delysia Hendricks March 10, 2013 at 4:12 PM Hahaha, funny one, Richard. I knew somewhere in this world there had to be somebody more techno-challenged than I. I enjoyed reading through your poem twice. Nice work, my friend. :)

Andrea Dietrich March 9, 2013 at 1:11 AM hey, so this is your first poem. and yes, I was the same way when I first came here too. It took me a month to really get a good hang of how things work here. If you keep trying and just experiment with different things you see here, you will learn a lot. Good luck and nice poem.
