Betty Janko Poet Couplet

My Computer and I

My computer and I, always good friends,
Have avoided all the new-fangled trends.

Long ago I decided it would work for me,
Not the other way around, don’t you see?

I don’t need “Word” trying to get in my head!
For years, “Excel” has held me in good stead.

By modern standards, seen with the relics…
A monitor, keyboard, and a mouse that clicks.

I’m too old to change, my old ways I’ll cling,
For I can still make my old computer sing!

Daniel Turner August 31, 2016 at 2:45 PM Mrs Betty, I'm laughing because I feel the same way. I wouldn't even know how to turn on a different computer. This dinosaur was left to me by my kids and my youngest has been gone 9 years. Lol Love the honest humor!
