GMail is Down

Poem for National Poetry Month 2009

Sheri Fresonke Harper
Oh gee, my Gmail's down,
I'm waiting for the lowdown,
the techs going to report soon,
I just got to know,
who sent me email
and how could Gmail let me down?

Gmail is the home place
of all of my friends, it's grace
to hear from them, and grace
to not have spam,
but how will I know,
who sent me email,
when Gmail let me down?

Hot topics to discuss on Gmail,
I'm sure I'm missing tales,
how can I wait much longer,
when the system's down.
Should I change emails
but how could I let my friends
know that that our Gmail fun is at end?

Ah, thank goodness, a minor fix was the cure
to Gmail trouble, now Gmail is pure.
I'm caught up with Gmail news,
I'm caught up with Gmail trends,
so now I can thank goodness sure
that Gmail is my friend.
Yeah, Gmail is up again.

    Very different from your other poetry, Sheri, but I still like it! In fact, it reminds me of a blues song. That what you were going for?
