The Computer: A Modern Tragedy

 

 

Oh computer how I treasure thee,

And all that you can do,

All the joy you bring to me,

For that I must thank you.

　

Two years ago when you were new,

You ran so fast and with such ease,

But alas you move much slower now,

And sometimes even freeze.

　

Perhaps you are just tired,

Maybe you just need to rest,

You’re too young to retire,

Though these days are not your best.

　

Blacking out the other day,

You gave me quite a fright,

And I did not know what to say,

When you reset the other night.

　

The cell phone’s always acted weird,

But it’s sill working great.

The T.V.‘s older and still fine,

The camera’s almost eight!

　

So why computer does it seem,

You age so very fast?

You cost a lot and are brand name,

You should be built to last!

　

But so it seems the way things are,

That computers die so young,

Treasured memories remembered,

The good times, and the fun.
