Came that day yet again!
I was working for local government,
Working in the Housing Department
At a time when computing started,
I was looking after them,
A very new way of work at the time.
As in local government
They re-organised every nine months,
This time I was left out,
Left out of a job.
I went to my manager
And he said not to worry
A position will be found.
So I just said to him,
“What about the computer?”
He looked at me in astonishment,
“Bloody Hell!” he said,
“I forgot about them!”
That’s how new computing was
When I first got into it at work
All those many years ago.

- Comment from author about the poem: Doggerel Dave asked me to give more episodes of my life, this is one of them. At the time computing in Local Government was very new. I got into it very early on and ended up working for a computer software company until I retired. This is a true story.
