David Smith Poet Light Verse

My Computer Has the Hiccups

My computer has the hiccups,
And now the printer has them too,
Which explains all my stuff ups.

I couldn't find a case of this kind, online,
And the manual was a waste of Time.
I asked my son to come and dine,
Hiccups in the conversation resulted in a decline.

My daughter was next in line,
She saw no need to dine,
As everything could be fixed on line,
That was until she got a case like mine.

Now it was novel language time,
A polite decline from the computer came on line,
And one from the printer in equal time,
Another from my wife to say I was out of line.

I took a glass of wine to make me feel fine,
And the problem to re-define,
While I went off line,
And took my wife out to dine.

I came back ready to try another line,
Ignoring the offline sign,
I Pressed print one more time,
And everything turned out fine.

My stuff-ups are now in decline,
The computer and printer still have hiccups from time to time,
Though when a message to dine comes online,
That is a message I never decline as long as there is wine.
