Sat at the computer
Trying to open the dialogue window,
But this window is far too s-l-o-w.
Close it all down,
And reboot it once again,
Computer still showing signs of strain.
Finally, give up,
Turn computer off and walk away,
Only to try again, day after day.

Okay, you probably deserve an explanation. The title was from a poetry competition advertised in a poster above the library computer I was using the other day. The poem itself was written to pass the time while I tried to open a dialogue box (in the end I gave up!). The reason you are getting to see it is two-fold (i) it really is not worth entering it into the competition, imho and (ii) ee recently posted a worship song he has penned, and I figured that I needed to restore the poetic balance in the Wiblogsphere with some of my nonsense.
Hope you liked it, or at the very least it did not cause you physical pain! ;)
