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 ! 21.2.2022 Lets explore digital technology Poetry Contest Sponsor Simon Rogerson

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.
