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.
