Technology Complaints
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Loosing word files really rattles my brain.
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane.
I try and I try to put things in place.
Still, somehow, they get lost in cyberspace.

Computer crashes bring on mental pain.
It seems like progress will not be obtained.
As I find, sort, and copy transferred files.
My gray matter is soon stretched out for miles.

Floppies, CD s, re-write-able, or not
Duplicates, triplicates backups and LOST!
Pop-up warnings, my cork is getting hot.
Steam from my ears might escape, angers cost.

Drats, drats, and double drats!  I've flipped my lid!
Did you hear the loud POP?  No, it's not wine.
In the middle of the night, fingers skid.  
Up and down the keyboard, whine, whine, and whine!
