Epitaph for my Computer

Ciel the Sky Mortal's picture

If my computer was a person

He would have been obnoxious

Self-righteous

Too stuck-up to listen to my commands

There was even a hint of sarcasm

In every action

He wasn’t up to date

He was really

Really

Really

Slow sometimes

Overweight

Undereducated

And lived to delete

My documents

The second before they were saved

But now that he’s dead

I really understand the meaning

Of “You never know what you have

Until it’s gone”

I only hope my next computer is as good as the last one

After all

Something has to make my life interesting

And a computer with sarcastic capabilities

Is as good as anything I’ve ever seen

I worked hard

To save up birthday money

And pick him out from the store

And I was so proud

To have something as cool as him

So

Rest In Peace Computer

You were great while you lasted

Even if I got ticked off and

Pulled out your battery when you were slow

Have fun in hard-drive heaven

Because your last act

Was to strand me here

With a research paper

All alone

Thanks dude

I’ll miss you

Not alone on this one.

I feel your pain. I recently lost one of my computers (first one I owned actually) to a power surge from a thunderstorm. It was a tough SOB, but after all that it had been through, I suppose it was only a matter of time.

 

Good luck on finding a new PC, always found it to be a rather tough decision.

I love anthropomorphizing.

At dance camp, the girls kept talking about how the floor would be as a boyfriend. "He's always there for you, supporting you no matter what. He's hot, but sometimes he gets really clingy. It's super annoying. Also, he never says much."

Nice!

That is hilarious. I honestly didnt know there was a word for it, but thats amazing!

"Even if it lands you in a straight jacket or a padded cell, play the game, but play it your own way."
