I wake up to boot up my trusty friend,
To open up my window to the news of the world,
Or to spectate walkthroughs of final fantasies, or
Perhaps I’ll watch a compilation of faceplants;
To reassure my imperfection, thus
Turning my frown upside down, or
Maybe to search yet again; if anyone has space
For me professionally, or to earnestly type, so that
I can keep in touch with those far away,
But who are always close to my heart,
Or, evidently, to open up Word, to compose this
Very verse, with a hopeful heart; wishing that all of you are well,
In this continuing torrid time of trials and tribulations.

- Comment from author about the poem: Hi everyone, hope that you are all having a lovely day and that you are keeping well in the continuing malaise. It's been a little while since I posted, so I thought I would share this with you all. Naturally, during the lockdown periods, a fair few of us would have become more gadget-friendly, thus, I'm sure that all of us have a non-sentient friend who helps us out in our daily routine. So, here is a poem dedicated to my Macbook, and the many uses it has for me. Standby for more "festive" verses soon. Hope that you enjoy this, and please do take care everyone.

Good write Auburn.
I was un-technically minded! I said: 'I'm getting a Notebook. Eh, no, a Notepad'. A friend replied: 'Noooo, a NETBOOK you clot!' lol.
Thanks, orchidee, glad you enjoyed it, and I totally agree with you, the overwhelming choice of technology out there; is enough to make you completely gaga! Just as long as you have something that works for you with as little hassle as possible, then all is techy gravy!
Have a good one, and please do take care.
Hi Ben, My Non-sentient friend sends kind regards to you. I have had many in my life as I used to work in Computing.
Two things about computer gained from experience:
1. There are only two types of computers, the prototype and the obsolete.
2. The way to distinguish hardware from software is that it you throw them against a wall you can only hear hardware when it hits the wall. (I have seen this done by one of my colleagues when things were not going right and he threw his PC against the wall.)

Hi Andy, hope that you're well, and I'm glad to hear from you and your non-sentient friend, mine sends kind regards to you both as well. Yeah, it's really annoying when a piece of gadgetry doesn't work, and it's probably for a little teeny weeny technical reason; that laymen like me can't understand. I know enough, but when it comes to the intricacies of the code it's an alien language to me, but I will try to endeavour to learn more about.
Have a good one, and please do take care.
