Ode to an e:mail

     
    From my little puter so trusted and true
     I send my little e:mail across the miles to you.
     It tells me that my letter it is sent
     but I still sit and wonder, I don't know if it went.

     
     For you tell me that you stare at your puter and see
     no e:mail, no messages, not a word there from me. :(
     So again I sit here and type my message to you
     thinking that this time it surely will go thru.
     
     As I sit and I wait for a return e to come
     I ponder and ponder... will the next one be from
     a friend or a co-worker, a son or a spouse
     oh dear, oh my, i just dropped my mouse.
     
    I guess now I must drop on my knees and crawl
     LQQK around everywhere to see where it did fall
     So that I again may take my lonely place 
     in front of my screen to make some space
     for your e to come and bring me a smile
     and send you the message in a short while 
     I will be here just waiting for you 
     to send me an e:mail saying "I love you."
