Wrong Prong

The computer cord I ordered came recently and I was compelled to write a mini poem about it:

Package today from Dell
What the hell?

It's a computer cord
But here's the word

It's the wrong
prong!

Dell,
no way in hell

Do two holes fit three prongs
That's wrong!

The Quest

Recently I decided I needed a new laptop and was inspired by a friend to write a poem about it. Here it is:

Yesterday I was on a quest
My old laptop isn’t the best
Thought I could buy a cord
But not at the computer repair store
Not at the pawn
Shop… yawn!
No cord at Savers
Even though I “ravers”
About them!
Grrrrrrr! So what’s a girl to do?
In the group admin chat
I asked them what
I should do
You see, I help on the page, aka auction
But with no pc, no action
My friend, Kari, says, “Call me!”
She said, “Go on slickdeals dot com”
I know – it’s all about the dot com
Found a good deal on my second Dell
Seven and a half years and my first Dell
Is going strong
Just needs a new prong
I headed to that site
And to my delight
There’s a Dell for $279.99
Are you out of your mind?
I could get three new PCs
For what that old diseased
Computer cost 7.5 years ago
OK! Let’s go!
Slickdeals takes me to BestBuy dot com
Hey! I can pick it up today?
In Rochester? Okay!
