'The computer swallowed Grandma...'

7/5/2017

Shirley Roberts found this poem and thought other U3A Benalla members might enjoy it!

The computer swallowed Grandma,
Yes, honestly it's true!
She pressed 'Control' and 'Enter'
And disappeared from view.
It devoured her completely,
The thought just makes me squirm,
She 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 Mr Google
My searches to refine.
The reply from him was negative,
Not a thing was found 'online'.
Si, if inside your 'in box',
My grandma you should see,
Please 'Copy', 'Scan' and 'Paste' her,
And send her back to me!

Mrs Truss from Kent's son sent this poem to his grandma 'who is 86 years young',
