An Ode to Nenia's Laptop
What a charge, it would not fit!
Fell apart, as in a snit
Screws were loose, the bottom fell
(But on this, we will not dwell)
At an angle (Ooh! That works!)
(Please move on – I saw those smirks!)
Stories were not lost (Hurray!)
Though they tried to lead astray
Snickers heard, the plot you foiled
Stopping work, the keys embroiled
Tapping, tapping - you'll prevail
This was not an Epic Fail
Still, in cities 'round the globe
Beamed into the frontal lobe
AI waits, the time draws near
My computer's made this clear
Domination of the world
Online access has unfurled
As robotics heed the call
We'll be held within their thrall
Webcams, data links unite!
Puny humans! See them fight?
Desperately, they try to find
Source of power, but they're blind
It is hidden, far away
In the City by the Bay
Rock and Roll provides the clue
But for now, I'll bid "Adieu!"

Thank you!
I'm glad that you liked it. :-)

this had me cackling unattractively in the dark

No worries. I've cackled/snorted/sprayed water all over my keyboard even more unattractively in the light.
Good luck on fixing your computer. I hate it when computers turn on you. It makes me think they're going to take over the world and kill us all.
