Lament of a Geek

At least that's what my sister thinks

on the phone, my sister says
It wasn't me, I didn't do it
but my computer is throwing a fit

Slow down I say, stop the ranting
I can't understand your frantic panting
What is it doing, explain to me,
without all the frivolity

I need to know, what you have done
before this problem had begun
did you install a game, an update or anything?
I don't know she quickly says, I just turned it on
to be faced with this.

If I had a nickel for, each time I've heard her roar
For skills she thinks that I posess,
I'd be a millionaire, by this time
Instead of trying to make this rhyme.

Author's Note

This came about after a frantic call from my sister, when a pop-up came up on her computer, which now has become a frequent thing it seems. At least now mom & I hear from her often.

The title intrigued me. After I started to read I quickly realized it was something completely different than what I had in mind but nevertheless you have penned another masterpiece.

Maybe the popup is the nice reminder she needs to stay in touch. I know a bit about computers if you want to scream and rhyme at me :) Nice one.
