I signed onto the internet

   Not knowing what to do

The keys all looked the same to me

      Didn’t know which one to choose



         I Hit Connect

The screen went wild

  My journey seemed to fail

~Illegal Operation~ flashed

  would I be going to jail??




~You need to run a Scan Disc~

  The little prompt had said

This seemed a lot more frightening,

  Then was the day I wed....




I clicked on over to the

~Start~

  Found ~systems files~ galore

I closed one eye, pointed the 

mouse,

  And very softly swore.....



This (BLANK BLANK) THING

  IS BEATING ME

IT’S MESSING UP MY DAY!

  I glanced into the mirror near

My hair was turning  grey.....



The tech had installed programs

  That I knew nothing of

I prayed for intervention,

     And guidance from above



Then clear as day

  A sound I heard

My shock it sure did show

  OUT OF THE BLUE

It was distinct,

  A crystal clear ‘oh-oh’



A flashing bar, a number shows

  Someone was calling me

I aimed the Mouse,

       And gave a "click"

A message I did see!!



"Hello to you, Ya wanna chat"

I read, and smiled wide

    My fingers started tingeling

I hit ‘reply’ with pride....



"Oh Yes, Oh Yes" I typed so fast, and then I clicked the  
           ‘Send’

I finally got the knack of this

  And found a Cyber Friend!



Now as I move through Cyber

     Space

Of miles, time, and fun

    It’s 4:00 a.m., my eyes are
 
red, I turn to greet the sun.



You think I am a Cyber Dunce

    Well go ahead and scoff....

But just one question fore ya go?

    "How Do I Turn It Off???"




Send this to your cyber friends

new, and old, and we can all

smile at remembering when we too

 were "NEWBIES"
