The Poem
The computer swallowed grandma.
Yes, honestly it's true!
She pressed 'Control' and 'Enter'
And disappeared from view.It devoured her completely,
The thought just makes me squirm.
She must have caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm.I've searched through the recycle bin
And files of every kind;
I've even used the Internet,
But nothing did I find.In desperation, I asked Jeeves
My searches to refine.
The reply from him was negative,
Not a thing was found 'Online.'So, if inside your 'Inbox',
My Grandma you should see,
Please 'Copy', 'Scan' and 'Paste' her
In an email back to me.
