Laptop frustration torments my eyes
I watched the screen gritting my teeth
Do this then that and then go into there
My eyes were like a cat at a tennis match
Play it again Sam. Rewind step by step
I still have no idea what he did! I scream
‘Nothing works the way he said, nothing
Happens how it does in his world!’
No sound yet the green lines are zooming
Up and down. ‘There,’ he said. ‘If you
Liked this video tap the subscribe and ring
The bell.’
Back to the start, do it again, his sickly
Knowing smile, drives me insane. He’s
Got a different icon to me, how did he
Do that? I couldn’t see!
I slap the laptop closed and grab a fistful
Of hair. I kick off my shoes in utter despair!
Two days later, I solved the mystery
And finally I can do it, the same way as he!
