Upgrade by *Garnet-43:iconGarnet-43:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Humor > Fixed


One day we said, "We just can't wait,
We mustn't miss a beat
We'll change our Windows 98
To one less obsolete

I unplugged the tower from its wire maze
For an upgrade I did ask
The man said, "Three to five business days
It'll take to finish the task."

Computerless.  At first it seems
An inconvenience small,
Then came the barely stifled screams-
Oh, no!  Computer withdrawal!

No E-mail!  Our palms did sweat
No solitaire! No internet!
Indeed, our longing got so bad
We even missed the pop-up ads!

Day after day our gaze would land
(We couldn't help ourselves)
Upon the bare computer stand
It's empty, lifeless shelves.

Three to five days long were past
When finally, it came at last
A joyful message on the phone
Hurray!  Our baby's coming home!

So share with us our boundless joy!
We welcome home our favorite toy,
And hope with desperate hope and tears
That we won't need an upgrade for many years!

Most of the poetry I have read here on deviantART is quite good, but somewhat on the morose side. This place needs a little humor...

Haha. This is great and you are right. For me, dark poetry is easier to write. I feel that I can be more visual and creative when the subject matter is a little disturbing. But I really like this poem, great concept an dvery creative :)

Yeah, I envy you youngsters who were born in the era of home computers. When I was your age the latest new technology (accessible to the public, anyway) was pocket calculators. Yeah, I'm that old.
