Computering

The buzz of busy voices in the classroom every week

Says the brains are working hard for the knowledge we all seek.

“I swear I did my homework, but the knowledge didn’t hold

And I know that only happened ‘cause I’m getting way too old

For all this modern learning ‘bout computers and such stuff.

Lord knows what they’ll teach me if I hang round long enough.

I thought my life was busy bustling here and going there

But now I’ve found computers, that stuff’s all up in the air.

I don’t have time to go to lunch, and shopping’s all but gone

I can’t wait to jump up out of bed and turn my ‘puter on.

Kettle and toaster do their thing, and then I settle down.

I’d better check my emails before I leave to go to town.

There’s one from Marg, and Elaine too, and another from my son

I’ll send them all an answer and go shopping when that’s done.

I’ll check in on my bank account and see what money’s there

And then I’ll phone my hairdresser for when she’ll cut my hair.

There’s lots of stuff I have to do, but I’ll check a few things first.

I need to take a little walk or else I’m going to burst.

My golly, it’s got dark outside. Is that a storm that’s building up?

I’ll have to turn computer off or else it might blow up.

It’s not a storm. The day is gone! It’s time to go to bed.

I’d planned to do a lot today, but I’ll have a shower instead.

I’ll try again tomorrow to do the things I have to do.

Don’t know where time went today. I blinked and it just flew.
