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!
