At My Computer

A true description of trying to catch up on read requests, hopefully humorous!

I sat at my computer,
I sat up very tall,
but as I read and read
and read,
the writing got quite small.

My eyes were not wide open,
they were merely slits.
I was not sitting up straight,
my legs had done the splits.

Then, my head felt very heavy,
it fell on my keyboard,
it plopped down very hard
and it did it of its own accord.

I think I am tired,
I need to go to bed,
but sometimes I fight it
and have to be led!

I feel that way working behind a computer five days a week..my eyes turn into slits, I aquire tunnel vision...come home and my body is awake...but my brain is asleep.

I loved it. Its a childlike-playful, adventerous tone. Yet I think i saw a dark sense of aging, in it.

Sometimes I print them out and read them in a more comfortable place. Uses a lot of ink though.

Cute poem. Most of us can identify.
