My New Computer


                 I just got a new computer
                    It’s such an adventure for me
                 I tried to type my name on it
                    but never found the ‘G’

                 Then I tried to pay a bill
                    That was really fun
                  I wound up paying five times too much
                     before my clicks were done

                  O.K. Time to check in with Facebook 
                      Hadn’t looked in an age
                   Typed my log-in info
                       Zuckerberg deleted my page

                    Well, nothing like 'first-try success'
                        and nothing like a new toy...; 
                     I've just found my favorite hammer
                        to teach it the meaning of 'joy'

O no! But I can relate, a long list of Tech Fails. Very entertaining my friend. Well done.
