Ugich Konitari from Mumbai sent me this wonderful poem for KC and I to enjoy. I loved it of course, and felt I had to share it with all you grandmas out there. I've checked online and read a gracious message by Valerie Waite saying she was happy to have people enjoy and share her poem.

The Computer Swallowed Grandma
The computer swallowed Grandma
Yes, honestly It’s true!
She pressed “control” and “enter”
And disappeared from view
It devoured her quite completely
The thought just makes me squirm
She must have caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm
I’ve searched through the re-cycle 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 on line
So if inside your 'Inbox'
My Grandma you should see
Please 'Scan', 'Copy' and 'Paste' her
In an e.mail back to me.

That is a fun one, and so depicts the nature of grand parenting in our modern era.
ReplyDeleteHey, where did you get that frosty header? Hope it's not that cold in Hawaii. Love the poem. May we print it? DrumMajor
ReplyDeleteActually, I took the photo of the snowflakes outside my living room window in Illinois several years ago.
DeleteAs for printing the poem, I don't see why not. I believe this poem circulated around the Internet as one of those forwarded pieces of mail. Apparently, often times Ms. Waite was not given proper credit.
Way better than most light verse.
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute! Loved it.
