Learning a New Computer: A Personal Tale of Confusion

Woman in a cozy sweater typing on a laptop at a wooden desk, a softly glowing brain‑shaped light above her head connected by delicate wires. Warm fairy lights, a steaming mug, and a sleeping cat create a peaceful, whimsical atmosphere as she works late into the night.

“Cozy Tale of Wires Crossed, and Brain Confusion

~

My brain fried, just not like an egg.

It’s begging for rest, but it can’t beg.

With blurred eyes, tears gently fall;

This week hasn’t been a ball.

~

New computer, more things to learn

Gets the mind confused, eyes burn.

Saved a little cash with gift cards and such;

Helped cut the cost nicely, didn’t hurt as much.

~

Time will tell when I become a pro;

Learning all this stuff, I don’t know.

Playtime limited housework too.

To enjoy my new computer, watch me go!

~

Open one program or keystroke at a time

Composing poems that are halfway rhymes.

I drop them on my poetry site.

My head and mind are too tired to fight.

~

Get out the egg carton — pack my brain inside.

Another day will return. For my brain to be fried.

Hopefully, on something other than this computer

Maybe this time it’ll be my husband’s scooter.
