My Low-Tech Laptop

Ali Canary
I can take it anywhere

When I'm needing it, it's there

It fits right in my pack

That I carry on my back

I can take it on a plane

Without the dreaded scanner pain

I can use it on a bus

And nobody makes a fuss

I can drop it on the floor

And it springs right back for more

I can leave it in my car

It's always safe from harm

Nobody tries to steal it

So light I barely feel it

It needs no source of power

Goes for hour after hour

All I really need's a pen

And I'm set; alrighty, then!

    lol, have many of them, but every time I use one, I have to search them all to see which it was, lol :)

    Great point here, Bat, wrapped in a very cute poem. I have so many notebooks, old partially-filled journals, scraps of paper & napkins w/ "brilliant" works scrawled on them, but finding the ones I want when I want them... that's the challenge! BTW, we don't have a laptop, just the sits-on-the-desk & stares at us kind. But at least we got so-called high speed internet this yr. I felt like we entered the 21st century! Personally, I love the feel of pen on paper. And I think poetry should always be hand-written. The artistry of it gets lost in hard print letters. Cool work here, Ms Canary!

    Why is it that no one seems to get the value of pen and paper? Me? I LOVE my Moleskines. Glad to have found you here.

    This is so cute! I do most of my writing on a keyboard nowadays...but I do love the feel of a pen and notebook in my hands. :)

    Hot dig! Where can I get one of them? Very clever.

    I drop mine on the floor and it costs me $300+. What kind of laptop do you have?

  • Cathy A Montville7/15/2009

    I use a notebook (paper kind) all the time! This is adorable! I am a note taker from waaaaay back!

    A pen will do in a pinch... but I think better with my fingers on a keyboard!!
