Twas the week before Christmas, And around this old house, My computer was broken, Not only the mouse! Id already tried rebooting with care, In hopes that Amazon soon would be there. The cords were all tightly plugged in their sockets, And the recover disk was nestled nearby in its pocket. And I in my dunce cap And Helen in her PJs Had hopes wed be buying our new Bobby Flays. When suddenly with blue screen and a slight smell of ozone. Our computer did crash leaving us all alone. Away to the handbook I flew in a hurry Flipped through the pages till the pictures were blurry And looking for somebody who was in the Know Who could tell me in which direction to go. When what to my wondering eyes should appear But directions on how to make everything clear. With a sweet little Program, so simple and swell, I knew that this CD must be Intel I worked like a beagle and the program pushed through And my computer started whirring and sputtering too, On flash drive, on hard drive on keyboard and flat screen, On floppy, on CD, on server and wifi beam Get your programs in gear, get my websites online, Now flash away, flash away, line by line. Like a lumbering giant getting up from his seat, So did my computer slowly rise to its feet, And so to the internet my browsers did open, With a packet of info, and a cookie as a token, And then in a twinkle I saw all my favorites Lining up on my flat screen, in 12 point fonts As I looked up my card number, for future shopping, I noticed my wife on one foot hopping. Quick click on Amazon she said with hurry, If we order before midnight theres no need to worry. We need to replace all this from head to foot, because I think this old dell will soon be covered in soot. I cringed at the thought of replacing this Dell, As it had served me for years and served me quite well. Its programs were familiar, Its keyboard quite easy, The thought of new one made me a little queasy. But I knew that this old hunk of desk weight must go, And the sooner the better, to make this place glow. So I stumped Around on the amazon site And E-bay and even Best Buy that night. I saw all sorts of whizzes and wonders, And, sad to say, even quite a few blunders, I found one at last on sale for a steal And added to cart for the checkout spiel. It was slim and all shiny, a sleek little piece And it made my mouth water and my heartbeat increase A click of the mouse, my card number inserted, Soon let me know my new toy was diverted I checked out through the pages and wore through the night, And tracked my new computer onto its first flight And then, with a nod to my wife I did say, Our new computer, is on the way, And I heard her exclaim as I shut down for the night, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night
