Computer Eats Homework

She said, "Please give me one more day.

"I wrote a poem last night."

I started to give a zero,

But I wanted to do what's right.



"And IF you wrote this rhyme," I said.

"Why don't you have it here?"

She looked at me imploringly

And blinked away a tear.



I knew but an instant later

That she had told the truth.

"See? When I tried to print the page,

That computer just went 'POOF'!"

Of course I believed her!  How many times has the same thing happened to me?  LOL

I have a computer that eats
my poetry, my scripts
it expecially loves to eat
the perfect line which I
have no way of remembering
because i was sprung in the
moment...
Darn Computers (wink-wink)
Needless to say I love and do relate!
