Is it possible that anyone can relate to this poem, comments please?

This is funny! Oh yeah, I can relate all too well.

By "catching" Tourettes, do i assume you were regaling the cosmos with strings of hearfelt vituperation, even (gasp!) profanity!!!??? Egad!

The printer jam was the cosmic revenge for this. heh heh

Don`t Surrender!

Forget all you`ve been taught

and just keep retorting until your nerves are restored,

then learn all by yourself to file

and such

(Computers For Dummies did not cost me much)

then when it`s second-nature

attach your printer

and it`ll addict you through the winter;

The main thing is to grasp hat YOU ARE THE BOSS.

Like a car, it has its` fibles and does not actually give a tinker`s toss

for your expertise or your frustration.

If you`re luvky, you`ll get to join the growing nations of

demi-experts! Before then, one`s ego sure hurts ....

(an electric shredder also is recommended).

Great poem, but tutors are linear and

computers are binary

so get to it hon -

and forget the getting-it-perfect refinery,

it`s a matter of trial and triumph

....after trial and error -

bonne chance, and for now, `serra `serra.

I just wish that was something tasty I might spread on a biscuit,

guess I will have to rely on the marmalade,

the mess that was made lasted days and days but I still have my printer (s) and my laptop(s)

so when one goes down the other comes up for air

and if they both go kablink at the same time, I am dangled over the brink where I sink into anonymity within this room and the walls it imposes on me.

my pc is my window to the world, and I do not pretend to always understand it or speak it's language but I have tried to be at least compatible to a degree...

clever poem

Take out the comma in "It's all enough to give you that syndrome, that is called Tourettes" and it's golden. i liked and sure, it can relate to people who don't know much about programming and try the "do it yourself" routine, like me! Or just programming n00bs(not like me)

As a programmer first (for years) and a poet second (sort of), I enjoyed your poem but can't relate to it experientially. I do, however, offer you all my sympathy, as what was hard for you came easy to me. (Fortran, Cobol, Pascal, Basic, C, Assembler, etc. were friends of mine)
