It seems like, more and more, little annoyances are at our door.

Pop Ups


The other day while I was working,
my phone rang and I, knee jerking,

Answered and it was Hillary speaking.
Listening to her lurking squeaking.

She kept on glibly yapping away,
wouldn't let me get a word in edge way.

My answer to that one way pace,
was to hang up in her server's face.

And then on my computer screen,
a page pops up to ruin my dream.

Like an annoying salesman at the door,
my life is filled with pop-ups, galore.

An Emperor's widow has money to launder,
as if I had big bank accounts to squander.

I'm required to install this third-party app,
needed for this, for that, yap, yap, yap.

I turn the page to the index's direction,
an ad pops up like an invading erection.

My doorbell rings and a guy's at my door,
they are in the neighborhood--bargains galore.

A pimple pops up in the mirror to my rage,
why do I get "love bumps," at my age?

Got a unexpected present from a friend.
In my face! Will these pop-ups ever end?

I CAN RELATE TO PATRICIA. I ABSOLUTELY HATED THOSE POP-UPS FROM MICROSOFT AND RESENTED THEM TRYING TO 'FORCE' ME TO GET WINDOWS 10. I FOUGHT IT UNTIL MY COMPUTER ITSELF BEGAN TO BEG FOR A CHANGE...I GAVE IN AND GOT. AND, THOUGH IT TOOK A LITTLE ADJUSTING, IT WAS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE FOR ME AND MY COMPUTER. WINDOWS 10 AND CHROME ARE A COMPUTERS COMPLETE 'DREAM' MAKEOVER. SO, AS FAR AS POP-UPS ARE CONCERNED...SOME ARE GOOD, SOME ARE BAD, JUST GOTTA 'FILTER'...WELL. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Hey Ron. I strongly agree about annoying "Pop Ups" especially the most recent ones from Microsoft insisting I download windows 10! You found the balance between anger and humor in this recent poem. Thanks for letting me vent along with you. I feel healthier already! And the "invading erection" made me laugh out loud. Pat

Ah our modern age! What shall I call "convenience"? Let me count the ways, except you already have, in poetry, yet. Nice job about an anything-but-nice, but ever-present subject. Can evolution be described as the progress from mom-up to pop-up (the thought just occurred, thanks to you!)?

You get those love bumps because you are still young at heart...I just fervently hope your heart stays young and you stay around a long time...-e-

Pops-up galore, its the state of the world nowadays;
all things we don't want, just come popping up.
well done, Ron, thanks for sharing!

That's what we need is a little humor when all we get now is Hillary and her charming husband, are they still married?

Aren't these pop ups just annoying???? You make them bearable with the humor you have offered as I will think of this poem the next time a salesperson calls. Yesterday, someone from Blah Blah Sales who wants to make my life so much better with a plan she could hook me up with. I asked her, being silly, if her husband was there as I needed to tell him something. She hung up on me!!! LOL!!! I DO have fun although I'm laid up still!!!

Love ya!

Pop ups, up dates, and robo calls.
only drive up the walls.

Loved the humor.
