Best Laptop Poems
Living in a masquerade
Hiding our truths in the shade
Veiled Behind electronic devices
The Physical world Minimises
Concealed behind a blue and white light
No melatonin released at night
Our brains don’t accept it’s time to sleep
And every day we’re on repeat
A vicious cycle ceases to stop
When hid behind our phones and lap top
Wanting to be something we’re not
Living life through a mobile robot
Pupils straining , brains rearranging
Photograph your food , words misconstrued
We used to wear watches and read paper maps
Took photos with cameras , had real contact
We spent Summer days out in the fresh air , riding our bikes with the wind in our hair
Simulation , stimulation lost inside a lie
Isolation, modification , apps that beautify
Lacking essential social skills
Online Casino gives you thrills
Book shops closing , hackers disclosing
Filters , snaps of zombies posing
Selfie sticks and brains decomposing
Judging ourselves With an air of self loathing
Expectations of Instant gratification
Vulnerable souls face Victimisation
Predators and bullies target their prey
Illicit pictures on display
Conversations overthrown
Surrounded by people
Yet still quite alone
With one selfish text lives become wrecked
Took your eyes off the road just for a sec
Sirens arriving , little chance of surviving
All because of your self-absorbed driving
We hold it dearer than humanity
Ignorant and lost at sea
We need to find our way back to land
And release these crutches from our hands
“Without you I am finished; as if I had never placed footfall,”
“Thanks for that Pete, I think you’re neat,”
“Like some new software?”
“Don’t worry my treat”
“Windows 8 we’ll pull it down,
Here it comes,”
“WHOOOOOO! that was great!”
“I like it when it’s fast, when you press my board,
toggle my control- shift- caps- lock keys.”
“Just a mo, I’ll have to go, putting you on sleep,”
“Men; you’re all the same, bang, bang, bang, press the key,
then off you go.”
The loud long speakers are amazing
The very smooth keys
I love my laptop
My Laptop has a name
Its Apple MacBook Air 13-Inch (2015)
Its life begins with a disk drive
It got various basic dialects such as C, FORTRAN, or Pascal
It has a random access memory without brain
I upgrade it when the going gets tough,
I hope my motherboard would find a fatherboard so I could have anotherboard
It house input and output devices without having a home
It performs specific operations like physicians
It use a touchpad instead of a house mouse,
If you want to go forward, backup
It can display information in a human understandable form
It got gates and windows?
It’s hardware problems are due to truck driver errors
Sometimes its program is so sick
I feel like shooting it and put it out of its memory
Output and Kaput
It defragmented my entire life
Because I find its faith in technology amusing
The operating table on my laptop is called facebook...
My school work revolves around my laptop
It can do anything I want it to do
It cleans my messes faster than a mop
It is faster than a ten person crew
I buy any movie or song I need
These things entertain me anytime I’m bored
This laptop created my special creed
My laptop is amazing and adored
Over the years it started to slow down
The hardrive ran out of a lot of space
The PC booster starts to make me frown
My laptop is older than grandma’s lace
My laptop saves time and gets the job done
Me and my laptop have a lot of fun
I am compact and have a grayish-white skin
I have neither beliefs, nor a great sentiment
Whatever I am asked I do it instantaneously
Just as one wish, unmarked by hate or love
I am not lazy, or a busy body, only obedient
This laptop kills my time
I cannot breathe without it
Staring at it but never really doing anything
The light doesn't help her sleep
But I wont be long I repeat in the darkness
So many sights and sounds to see
You cant take my soul away from me
And what would i do without it

MOONLIGHT ON MY LAPTOP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
in twilight's hallowed hour
the world outside recedes.
glowing screen, a window wide.
virtual realm opens.
moonbeams dance upon
reflections of code and thought.
I soar, a bird on outstretched wings
through skies of endless blue.
laptop’s keys play a symphony~
my inner voice, a creative song.
the laptop's shining face
a mirror to my soul, a gateway
to hidden depths, a sacred place.
in dawn’s approaching hour,
screen’s embers fade
flickering flames of creativity
their embers will soon turn cold.
Just to let all you folks know
that my good old keyboard's kaput
Can't f'gure out the reason why
but eye (Gershon) can't type the letter eye
So for the next few days, an eye
or an apostrophe w'll have to do
My poems may be sl'ghtly obtuse
As Eye make for th's keyboard a noose
There once was a tech enthusiast,
Name of Phil, and in him an obsession did persist.
It was with his laptop that he couldn't part
And so he took it, truly, everywhere he'd start.
In meetings, at school, and even in the loo
The laptop never went off, no matter what he'd do.
He called it his wife, with love and a smile
Said it kept him going, every day a new mile.
Late at night, you'd see Phil's face aglow
As he worked on his laptop, with no desire to go
To bed or to rest, for work was all he'd know
As he typed away, letting his ideas flow.
But it wasn't just work, it was about knowledge too
He surfed the web, acquiring new skills in all he'd do
From cooking to carpentry, he wanted to learn
All while maintaining his core tech focus with every turn.
People close to him, they knew him well
And they knew, wherever he went, his laptop he'd sell
His devoted companion, his trusty friend
On whom he could always rely in the end.
And yet, in his mind, it was more than mere attachment
It was a tool, a means for his advancement
In the world of tech, and in life as a whole
He longed for success, to reach his aspirational goal.
In one hand Phil held his laptop tight,
In the other, a hot cup of coffee for the night.
They were the perfect companions, through thick and thin
Simply inseparable, like a twin.
People often wondered, would he ever break away?
From the glimmering screen, that kept the world at bay
But Phil knew what he needed, and it wasn't far
Reaching new heights, reaching for the star.
Here's to the tech enthusiasts, out there in the world
With their laptops by their sides, always unfurled
For passion and drive are what make us who we are
So let's keep typing away, reach for the next bar.
let's remember, as we type away each day,
That our laptops are more than just screens in a way
They're part of our journey, what makes us unique
A reflection of our drive, our purpose, our mystique.
So let us salute Phil, for his drive and his heart
To chase his dreams and let his obsession play a central part
For in this digital age, and in all that we pursue
Our laptops are not mere gadgets, but a part of our soul too.

Laptop frustration torments my eyes
I watched the screen gritting my teeth
Do this then that and then go into there
My eyes were like a cat at a tennis match
Play it again Sam. Rewind step by step
I still have no idea what he did! I scream
‘Nothing works the way he said, nothing
Happens how it does in his world!’
No sound yet the green lines are zooming
Up and down. ‘There,’ he said. ‘If you
Liked this video tap the subscribe and ring
The bell.’
Back to the start, do it again, his sickly
Knowing smile, drives me insane. He’s
Got a different icon to me, how did he
Do that? I couldn’t see!
I slap the laptop closed and grab a fistful
Of hair. I kick off my shoes in utter despair!
Two days later, I solved the mystery
And finally I can do it, the same way as he!

I’m sitting here now with my laptop on my knee
I stopped a while earlier while I had my tea
I love using my laptop to converse and play
I am off work so it has whiled away the day
I checked out my twitter and facebook too
And I checked out my emails a time or two
I have written some poems on Microsoft word
Things from my mind that I wanted heard
I have one eye on the laptop in front of me
The other eye is concentrating on the TV
The Internet has opened up a world of hope
If you need to use it there is So much scope
I work on computers when I’m at work too
But that is my work the things I have to do
You’d think I’d need a rest from it when at home
I find it entertaining but I still talk on the phone
There are always many things to do when online
Technology moves on so fast but that’s just fine
I can talk to lots of people on messenger live
When I’m using my laptop I feel really alive
A-s you wake from slumber,
N-ew dawn starts to break;
A-fter the dusk is gone,
B-eacon cancels the heartache.
E-arly sun twenty-eighth January remains burning bright;
L-et Saturday morning make the coal clouds white.
O-pen your fingers to the keypad,
P-alms are active left and right;
E-ither hand holds the computer,
N-ew laptop sets things
A-right.
The Laptop Cowboy
I got four hundred white face cows,
A breed that I swear by.
A herd of Mustangs to be rode,
New laptop standin' by.
I keep it in my saddlebag
Or on the pickup seat.
I'm learnin' how to run my ranch
With schedules and spread sheets.
There's more to ranchin' than it seems,
I've read about it all.
The laptop's 'spose to sort it out,
I'll soon be standin' tall.
But just right now my hands are full,
My windmill's pumpin' air.
A newborn calf's stuck in the mud
There ain't no help nowhere.
The main house gate's come off its hinge,
A coyote's lurkin' near.
He's after chickens that's for shore.
He'll get 'em too, I fear.
My water tank up north's run dry,
I'll have to move the herd.
Soon as I fix that busted fence,
The whole dang thing's absurd.
The hay's run short in this dry year,
Them cows are lookin' lean.
Our feed store bill is gettin' high,
The owner's lookin' mean.
The weather channel says "Good Luck!"
"You ain't seen nothin' yet.
It's hot and dry from here on in,
Don't do no good to fret "
My foreman's on a binge somewhere,
There ain't no way to tell.
Next week I'll turn that laptop on,
And then I'll give 'em hell !
The house, it’s on fire, I must go retrieve
My world, my laptop device
That has all my life’s work
