I must write too muc_
I t_ink I'm losing my touc_.
I've worn out my A.
I've got part of an E
And my N is going I see.
And w_ere is the letter
t_at comes after G?
T_at's w_at troubles me.
I've worn some w_ite letters
rig_t off of t_e keys.
Still, my fingers can find A, N and E
But t_e key after G flipped off
and flew t_rough the air
Landed in a crack I know not w_ere.
Now some metal prongs
are staring at me
where t_at flipping key used to be.
If I punc_ _ard
rig_t between t_e prongs
I get an H but it takes too long.
It's just not acceptable
t_at so many words
t_at used to _ave _'s now look absurd.
I want my _ back, my A and E too.
Do you hear me, Tos_iba,
I'm yelling at you!
I've _ad to buy two keyboards,
and if I go get number t_ree
I t_ink Tos_iba s_ould be paying me!

Post a CommentFrustrating, isn't it? Weird as it sounds, the nail on my middle finger on my left hand ripped off and I had to cut it down below the nail line. I had no idea it would interfere with my typing and every time I typed a C, I had to slam on the key. Fortunately, my nails grow quickly. Hope you get yours fixed soon. This had to have taken a l-o-n-g time to write.
Linda I imagine you type much harder than necessary; but it did provide me with quite a laugh. My mothers laptop has this thing where upon one must make a pause between repeated letters or you don't get the second one. It has totally messed up her typing skills according to her.
The A as all but worn off the keyboard on my Dell laptop now, and for some reason alf the space bar is worn smoot. If you ave a desktop, you can at least buy a new keyboard very ceap.
urray for you
You are so very clever!! Always a pleasure!!
_a_a So funny! I once read this cute little book that this reminds me of... can't remember the name... basically this small group of people start to ban using letters of the alphabet in everyday language and writing. The towns people have to write and talk just like you wrote here. So cute! I just wish I could remember the name of it now.
Right. Crossing Toshiba laptop off the shopping list :-)
This is great! (coming from a writer whose son spilled pop on her keyboard and the space bar now sticks)!
W_at _he _eck!! only you could _ave t_ought of t_is.
T_at is great, Linda! I wis_ I _ad _hought of t_at!
