MY FRIEND THE COMPUTER
there are many things in this world of ours
That are sent to help us progress.
Some trials and tribulations, some of happiness.
But there is something that is in my life
And will forever be, one very big unfathomed mystery,
My clever friend and helpmate ........the computer.

It is full of little surprises that make my mind go round,
With bits and bites and mice, and a language of its own.
It poses many problems to the artistic side of me,
It changes fonts and sizes from what it used to be.
It tells me things aren’t there when they are in front of me,
My clever frustrating friend ............. the computer.

It wants to change the file and have to keep going in and out,
I want to write a letter but the page is already full.
I seem to be getting the hang of it, then it goes all wrong.
I want it to write music but it can not hold a song.
I want to be literate of this clever friend of mine,
One day I’ll know it well, ...........my friend the computer.
