Shut Down

Well ... okay,
computered enough for today.
Too long in the Captcha box
so its best to Shut Down,
Log Off,
exit right,
don't get left ...
behind.

Shut down.
Well, its nicer than Shut Up.

Still, the finality
has a tomb-like quality
and there just might be
other choices, like
"Ta, ta."
"See you later, sweetie."
or how about,
"You all come back now, ya hear?"

Yawn.
End Task
with No Other Message To View
so its click to you
and, we're shutting down now.

(Laughing as I read this) It sure would be nice if the computer had more friendly messages when it was acting up, wouldn't it? I think I'd really be in a state of shock though if a message popped up sayin, "Y'all come back now, hear?" You've expressed frustration with technology so humorously, Sue! Really enjoyed this one. Love, Carolyn

We're all addicted to Soup, Sue. I wrote a piece a couple of weeks back, "Addicted To Soup" That's the truth! Thank you for reading and commenting on my poem. Truly appreciate your kindness! Peace and love, Audrey

hahaha. I know this feeling. It's hard to leave the computer. You CAPTCHA it well (by the way, I hate that captcha thing. Sometimes I can't "get" what letter I am seeing). Good write, Sue. And thanks for your story about the dog of yours. I have had several experiences like that now with animals. I love dogs and cats. I can tell you do too. Luv,andrea
