It was a weird feeling…
My computer just shut down,
I was actually working in it-
Man, I felt like a clown.
Like how people die,
Just shut down and gone!
My computer did just that
It finally passed on.
I press this and that
Hoping that it would reboot
But like certain politicians,
It didn’t give a hoot.
What a weird feeling
That I was feeling right then!
All I could do was wish and hope
It was not a major problem.
My computer, if you please,
Is like my second wife,
I think I hear you suck your teeth
With a “Boy get a life!”
“Like a fish out of water”
That is exactly how I felt
Unable to write or post my poems
Thus, a huge blow it dealt.
It was Tuesday, the 4th
When my computer expired,
It lasted more than twelve years
And long could have retired.
I will definitely remember
That weird feeling I had had
For it was on the same very day
Something else made me sad.
It was a friend’s funeral
And I had planned to attend
Whereupon my computer decided
That was also its end.
In the picture above
Arnott is at the fore-front,
No longer will he stroll with us-
Death can be so blunt.
The end of my dear friend
And the end of my computer,
Faithful friends they both were
And after, both expired.
Now I have a new computer
But Arnott cannot be replaced,
Death brings a weird, weird feeling
And leaves an empty space.
What a hugely weird feeling
When one that you love is gone!
Enjoy to the fullest your love one
Before he or she moves on.
