More Computer Woes
So it was just
A couple of weeks ago
That I couldn't connect
To the internet
I got it fixed
And I felt so much better
But I should've knows
It was too good to last
Now what you ask
Well I'll tell you
Of course I'll tell you
Otherwise I wouldn't have a poem
So I'm at my friend's
Doing some work for her
Helping her out
And once more
I have connectivity issues
I can't connect to
Her wireless system
And that means
I can't get to ALL my stuff
On my laptop
My fotos my poem my art
My whole LIFE
So now what
I say to myself
What will I do
I'm lost adrift
Floundering in this sea
Of unconnectiveness
Swimming against the tide
Of wireless madness
So I cope by
Doing some very
Strange things
Using old fotos
And having nothing
Here except my words
I hope it's true
Words speak loudly
All by themselves
Because for a while
They are all alone
All by themselves
Treat them kindly

A footnote here~~~~I'm BACK ~~finally got connected so there are a foto and thumb with this poem. This is also the one I tried to upload for 2 days and kept getting the odd message. Let's hope it goes this time!! I've had enough computer stuff to last me for a VERY long time!!

Your poem and image work so well ! splendid , Ana
Ah, the joys of the 21st century! This piece has straightforward grace and it captures that species of frustration that we all probably know a lot better than we'd like to admit. Wireless Madness...I like that phrase, the repeated sounds. I got a good giggle out of that, but it was one of those "oh my god" giggles that you do whenever someone else goes through something you went through... Needless to say, this is a fantastic bit of writing and imagery.
Computers solves Problems you wouldn't have without them.... Cheer up! Things will go on. The next problem still stay around the next corner...:-) But hey, that's life. Thats the fun of life. Without problems life would be so boring, right!? Frank
Where would we be without our PC's? probably bored as %&($ lol, for I detest t.v. with all it's associated laden commercials. and yeah.. PC to me is more fun than tv,... Unless it's a movie off of cable. but mainstream t.v. simply bites in my book hehe! cool lil poem, and i feel for you really Marilyn! nice photo of this laptop, and beautiful coloring :-) Hang in there! have a great Wednesday this day as well :-) Hugssss
i love my PC, hope yours is working good now, i would almost die if mine didnt
So glad to hear it's fixed, I would be lost without mine, if I had any hair I would be ripping it out. I do have other things to fall back on but, my computer comes first. Lovely words once again Marilyn, they really put across your frustrations of unconnectiveness. Bravo!!!!!
Glad to see you are back and up and running again, Marilyn. Once we get connected to the world, it becomes a constant part of our lives...and when we can't get connected, it's...@$%&$!
I can't help but chuckle because I know how you felt. I have been in a dilemma about which broadband to go to, the slower DSL that stay connected in a power outage versus the faster cable, which is non-functional in a power outage. I'm glad you managed to get back online. Your image is great! It reminds me of those arcade fortune teller machines, except the figure is the computer with the crystal ball inside the monitor. Computers and fortune telling machines seems an interesting comparison. LOL
Oh my dear, it's very sad and difficult for you!;-)
Very well done. 5+.
Yeah they are no fun that is for sure. Nice purple people eaters computer there Marilyn!!!
i know by your message that you were a bit rattled :o)..i think this explains your feelings very well .excellent work marilyn mick
Shakespeare said it best: tis not better to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous computer woes, thereby depriving my Renderosity friends of lovely pictures. Anyway, glad you're back online with words of wisdom along with a grand depiction of a ghost computer.
Aaaah, we're so blessed with our toys, are we not? But hey, what's in your head, your beautiful words, your honest stories are what matters, the rest is just medium. Be it scribblings on the back of an enveloppe, the harsh inprints of the good old typewriter, or now our IT-WWW environment. And us writers will ALWAYS get the word out, even if we have to scream it from the top of a building.
wonderful. Hey if you wish you can use one of those mini disks i know not the name but you put it in a USB and download something then you can upload on a diff computor with out burning a cd.
I can't imagine life any more without my PC. * reaches over to pat the CPU * It's my link to so many things, so many people. Without my PC, my Renderosity friends would be inaccessible, and that's just unimaginable, unacceptable, inconceivable! ("I do not think that word means what you think that word means!") Awesome poem, tapping into our deepest fears. :)
Lol very cute. there is nothing like pc problems to just drive you crazy. very nice
