My Cantankerous Computer

Last week my computer was on the fritz. The confounded thing was givin' me fits! Trouble was a sick modem. They jes' won't work without 'em! Life sans a computer is jes' the pits! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired (c) 2015 All Rights Reserved

How I agree with this. My husband's computer died and now he is using mine. He is lost without his which is being repaired. At least I have my little Kindle, but it is a bit hard on my eyes. Great little Limerick!

It is hard to do without them once we get accustomed to them..Enjoyed reading your work..I took a job with the U.S. Bureau of The Census years ago and I had to learn how to do computer..I started to tell them that I did not want the job because that was a requirement..I am so glad that I learned it though..Thanks for stopping by..Sara

G'day Robert... Join the club Robert. This one of mine is acting like a teenage brat so a friend is building me up a more modern version. I sympathize with you from experience. Lindsay
