MY COMPUTER

[canalchris]

When Lilian gave me my first computer

I was quite pleased and quite proud

Though convinced in minutes

I'd bugger it up

and set off a small mushroom cloud.

So sure I would at least

set off world war three

if I pressed button A

when it should have been B,

but she persevered

and got me a dongle,

so I could look at something called 3.

Well my progress I tell you

it knew no bounds,

and my trepidations were soon all gone.

and within mere weeks

without help from the wife,

I could just about turn the thing on.

Then I joined a thing called Ebay

where they sell stuff if you've got the price,

I only joined cos I'm from Yorkshire

and I thought Ebay?, Eeh bye eck, thats nice.

Bye the time I could type with two fingers

I looked at a thing called Facebook,

By crikey they have to be joking,

Don't believe me? just give it a look.

Then I finally found this Forum, blog thing,

full of poor old buggers like me.

What most of us have in common,

is an ailment called C.O.P.D

We can talk to each,

and ask for advice

about medicine and Doctors and things,

and then on a completely different tack,

we can tell of what makes our hearts sing.

We don't always see things eye to eye,

and what makes one person laugh

may just make another one cry.

It really is a great forum,

I know that I really do need it.

And if I see something that I do not agree with,

I know now to simply not read it.

So through this computer

I can have my say,

converse with my new friends, sometimes laugh

sometimes pray.

And if by now I ain't caused Armageddon,

I say enjoy life,

your a long time a dead'un.

Really great Chris, I enjoyed that. I must admit I was fascinated by computers from the start, but did find them a bit scary.

Take some flour, some eggs and some milk

Beat together till it looks like silk

Pour it onto some smoking fat,

into hot oven and that is that

till it turns all puffy and brown

then on with the gravy and swallow it down

by 'eck that's good that Yorkshire pud!

(I am a Yorkshire lass tha' knows)
