Hassle

 

(Picture Credit - Rushed Mom from Single Moms Ask Sara)

The summer sun soars above the sultry sands…

Sorry your computer hit a problem

We will restart it for you

Error code – Gremlins from your latest Update.

 

Where was I?

The beach beams with delight…

You have Urgent Email

Your Paypal Account has been hacked

We need your bank details again

To protect you from villains.

 

Still on a standard gas rate?

You must shop around.

Use our fantastic cheap deal tracking

App.

 

Your internet provider technical department

Here.

Your computer is under attack

From Trojan Horse Maleficent-Ware.

You will lose internet connection in

Five hours unless…

 

We don’t provide cover for the drains

Under your house

Unless you take out

Our splendid insurance scheme.

 

Poetry Moderators here:

The word “Delight” is Not

Allowed here

As it has Sexual Connotations

And your style breaches our

Community Rules.

Suggest instead:

The finely grained sandstone

Reflects Sol light

Making my mood

More adequate

By psychological standards.

 

Sorry your computer hit a problem.

I give up.

 

(NB No Moderators were hurt

During the typing of this poem,

As they usually act

After

It is posted).

 

Hehe.
