That Darn Keyboard!

 

By Bud Lemire

The T isn't moving, it's being such a jerk
And I can't even, get the F to work
I tried the N, but now the A is stuck
With this keyboard, I'm not having any luck

Now the O, has flipped its lid
I'm not exactly sure, what I just did
I press the F1, F2, and F3
I know, I should just let it be

The RETURN key, just flipped off
I'm so frustrated, I start to scoff
It's not easy, to type anything on here
My keyboard is falling apart, I fear

Now the SPACE bar, just spaced out
I just want to scream, okay, I will shout
Now, that made me feel a little better
Now let me try again, checking every letter

Now, I'm having problems with the L
I'm also having issues, with the H as well
Let me check out a few more keys, I'll press the U
Nope! That darn keyboard, I just don't know what to do

Sometimes you feel this way when the keys on your
keyboard start to fall apart. It's frustrating when
you want to type something and you can't get the
right keys to type the letter you want.
