My Computer, My Friend

It seems that my computer
Is becoming my best friend,
We talk from early morn' and through the day,
I tell her my ambitions
And my many thoughts and dreams,
She listens to the things I have to say.
I'd been to visit once before,
She lives at 9 'Hard Drive',
I knew by 'Memory" I could find her house,
I came upon her residence
And looked in at the 'Windows',
And there she sat as quiet as a 'Mouse'.
We hadn't much to say that time,
For we were very shy,
We watched a 'Program', sitting on her couch,
It wasn't ergonomic,
It was really kind of 'Floppy',
I tried to sit up straight and not to slouch.
The next time that I visited,
She seemed to have a 'Virus',
And so I thought I wouldn't stay too long,
But then she offered me some 'Port'
And Lay's potato 'Chips',
And then we played a simple game of Pong.
So now we are like lovers,
And we hate to be apart,
My love for her I'll never put at risk,
She is my inspiration,
And she gives me all my 'Drive',
I'll write my hopes and dreams upon her 'Disk'.

Excellent word choices, metaphors, and lots of smiles. I wish I had your talent for this kind of poetry. Best for me was:

OK, David, you too Brian...put down your mouse, gently now....and step away from the computer, step away from the computer......Has anyone ever told you that you should maybe get out a little more?...........This is a cute poem though, I am laughing at the images...I always thought you guys fell in love with your cars, now its the computers...geeeeeze
How do you do it?
I'm still laughing. :-0)
I love the clever way you have intertwined everything.
I fell in love with my first computer, she was called 'Commodore 64', she wasn't to bright. Lacked any drive. But in the end I had her taped. But oh my, was she slow. If I asked her to do anything I could make dinner before she had finished the simplest of tasks.
In the end we parted. I confess it was my doing, I fell in love with another. She was called IBM 286.
My problem has been that I can't stay faithful.
Now I'm like Frankenstein. I build my own out of bits I salvage from the dead.
Brian.
Wow!! This is great. I like it.
After I read your poem I'm thinking about how many hours per day that I spent time with my computer. It's wasn't hard to calculate as I usually be together with my lovely computer more than my sleeping time.
Welcome !
