computers can drive you insane...

Well, can't they? See at the end, where my name is supposed to be, that is what I mean, wouldn't do it a minute ago, now...ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

computers can drive you insane…( I know, short drive!)


 


Interesting what your computer does when you hit the right key,


Never knew it did the following, J


But it did more the last time or was I dreaming,


Or did I take too big a hit,


Or do I need to TAKE a bigger hit?


 


I swear, I made that smiley, then hit the question mark and got,


Other symbols, mailboxes and curlicues, so help me god,


Now I cannot get them to come up, maybe I imagined them,


Something that just was transmitted from my brain stem,


To warn me of my future impending crash into the wall,


Of drug induced paranoia or schizophrenia & all…


 


Well if that is the way I gotta go, then so be it,


Better than to be thrown back, with the others so smelly, into the pit…J

My computers always attack me -
after I've pounded on my keyboard feverishly nights and days.
It's their way of saying,

"ENOUGH!...Or else I'll crash you!

So I gave it a rest,
and saved my fingertips.

~ Sandie Angel a.k.a. May Lu ~

Sounds familiar. My "Computer Ease" essay attacks
computers, too. You're in the best of aggravated company.
Hee hee hee...

Ahhhhh... Ed, I am, without question, the queen of computer idiots! Therefore, your delightful poem felt like a "join the club" to me and I'm already up and ready to sign up. My best grin was for the word "curlycues"...(grin). It's even fun to say aloud! Just know that you are NOT alone. I love that you constantly prove there is no subject unworthy of your playful pen. Write on! katy xox.

Okay, Ed, I want to know how you did it too. I know computers drive me insane--they have for years.

Hmmm you just give me something to play with. Reminds me of a night long ago when I came across a url that had a picture with lots of bubbles. When clickling on a bubble it would pop. I spent the next hour laughing my head off while popping the bubbles.......I think we hit a point where we just loose it for a little while to regain our sanity ;-)
