Berowne's 299

(Also for ABC Wednesday: "X" is for exasperation.)

Yesterday…

All my troubles seemed so far away.

But problems then showed up, as if to stay.

Though I believed in --

Yesterday.

Suddenly…

Something came to live in my hard drive,

A nasty virus that was real, alive.

No word of warning, just about midday.

I never will forget that –

Yesterday.

I called my faithful old computer guy.

This time, it seems, he had an alibi:

He’d just left for his holiday.

In fact, he’d just left --

Yesterday.

I like to think I’m good as blogging host,

But then I couldn’t even send a post.

The virus knocked my ‘pewter for a loop;

My very blog began to sag and droop.

But now it’s fixed, all set to meet and greet.

Tho I won’t soon forget the disarray

And all the mess that happened –

Yesterday.

(Forgive the exasperation.  As the above indicates, Berowne had a little problem; hopes to be back to normal next week.)

For ABC Wednesday

A “Y” Song (to the tune of “Yesterday”)

Yesterday…
All my troubles seemed so far away.
But problems then showed up, as if to stay.
Though I believed in --
Yesterday.



Suddenly…
Something came to live in my hard drive,
A nasty virus that was real, alive.
No word of warning, just about midday.
I never will forget that –
Yesterday.

I called my faithful old computer guy.
This time, it seems, he had an alibi:
He’d just left for his holiday.
In fact, he’d just left --
Yesterday.

I like to think I’m good as blogging host,
But then I couldn’t even send a post.
The virus knocked my ‘pewter for a loop;
My very blog began to sag and droop.
But that was –
Yesterday.

Today, the virus gone, my life is sweet.
I’m ready once again to meet and greet.
But I won’t soon forget the disarray
And all the mess that happened –
Yesterday.
