Title: Grandma is missing
Post by: Dee Gee on April 08, 2007, 08:30:55 PM
 THE COMPUTER SWALLOWED  GRANDMA

         The computer swallowed grandma.
         Yes, honestly its 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 Jeeves     
          My searches to refine.
          The reply from him was negative, 
          Not a thing was found 'online.'     

          So, if inside your 'Inbox,' 
          My Grandma you should see, 
          Please 'Copy,''Scan' and 'Paste' her
          And send her back to me!

   


This is a tribute to all the Grandmas who have been fearless and learned to
use the computer........ 

They are the greatest!!! 
   

   

We do not stop playing because we grow old;
We grow old because we stop playing.
Never Be The First To Get Old!

Thank you, Dee Gee.  I qualify as a Fearless Grandma.  I have to admit that I learned to use a computer while working and couldn't give it up when I retired.  Not for me the going back to a typewriter or writing by hand.  Or using an adding machine or calculator.  Or listing and alphabetizing the old fashioned way.  Once I learned about databases, spreadsheets and Word Perfect, I was hooked.
