Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

Wi Fi Frustration

Wi- Fi Frustration

Technology is not my thing
I know it can be great,
but I don’t seem to have the time
It gets me in a state.

I write replies to be polite
push send when I am done,
and when I think they’re on their way
I lose each bloody one.

The internet is so dammed slow
connections in and out,
I curse at my computer screen
and sometimes scream and shout.

“I don’t have time to waste you fool
you drive me around the bend,
my patience now is wearing thin
just GO when I push send”.

I start again, replies I write
then keep my fingers crossed,
when finished send them off to you
and pray that none get lost.

I hold my breath and wait a while
until I see the LINE,
that’s sending them across Wi-Fi
‘Thank God’ it’s worked this time.

I know I should slow down a bit
It’s patience that I need,
SO, I will try and take my time
and not rely on speed.

And if I do, I hope I’ll find
some calmness: then I will,
settle down I swear to you
to keep my cool  UNTIL !

Speaks Volumes June 23, 2022 at 2:02 PM Well said ! Your well worded poem exudes the frustration most of us feel when waiting for the expected to happen, and it doesn't. If ill thoughts could smash a computer, there would be a lot less computers.
