MY COMPUTER SWALLOWED GRANDMA
My 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 the recycle bin
And files of every kind.
I’ve even used the internet –
But nothing did I find.
So if, inside your 'In-box'
My Grandma you should see;
Please, copy, scan and paste her –
And send her back to me.
The Author, like Grandma,
has been swallowed by the computer!
