A Poem for computer buffs…..
A POEM FOR COMPUTER BUFFS
The computer swallowed granddad
Yes, honestly, it’s true!
He pressed “Control” and “Enter”
And disappeared from view
It devoured him completely
The thought just makes me squirm
He must have caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm.
I’ve searched through the recycle bin
And files of every kind
I’ve even used the internet
But nothing did I find.
In desperation, I asked Jeeves
My searches to refine
The reply from him was negative
No trace was found on line.
So, if inside your “inbox”
My granddad you should see,
Please “Copy, Scan and Paste” him
And send him back to me.

GRANDDADS iPAD
He’s got himself and iPad and
It fills him full of glee
He can do so many functions
While he’s watching TV
He’s already got a laptop and
Upstairs are two PCs
But he has to move to use them
Not sit here at his ease
He can watch golf on the iPad
And rugby on TV
Yes, both at once – AND send emails
As easy as can be.
He can talk to other people
– face to face if they’re tuned in
And listen to some music
(to me a ghastly din)
He sits there on the settee
Quite deaf to all around
And though I stand and shout at him
He doesn’t hear a sound
He’s not a callow youngster
All excited with new tricks
Or a babe with a new rattle
– He’s a granddad, 86
