I'm a Same-O, Same-O,
Kind of person,
When it's new and improved,
Then it seems to worsen.
It would be really nice
If they left stuff alone
Then I would have far less
Occasion to groan.
At the market I don't buy "New and Improved"
'cause I know what those sneaky ones did,
It's going to weigh less, taste worse at best,
Or have a non-functioning, Revolutionary Lid.
Buying a car is just as bad to me
They say it's improved a revolutionary breed.
They say I'm a follower, but with this car I'll lead,
Then they add all that stuff that I really don't need.
Web-sites have grown worse
With their drop-down menu,
If I could find where they hid stuff
It might be a good venue.
And just as I understand
How to navigate some site
They up and change it.
Boy does that bite!
With Booksie, I was doing so well
It was easy, non-techie, and fun
Until they decided to improve it;
Now it's got my brain on the run.
My stories, I name them all "Short"
'cause on "BOOK" I lose Chapter 2
I've tried the HELP page so often
My mouse-hand is turning blue.
***
Well I finely found out how to publish
At the bottom of the page. Really Guys?
But to add a picture, forget it!
It tells me something, then lies.
I know that they are trying to be helpful
Within this writer's technological zone
With Drop-downs, colors, and fashion.
But I wish they had left it alone!
***
Well
Their spell-check stopped working this week
And they're asking to sell me another.
I would buy it if I could send them a check
But they are too tech-ie for that. --- Oh Brother!

Great job. I love the over-all tone of the poem and how you are able to express frustration in still a somewhat comedic way.

Thanks Tom. Your comment reminded me to update this poem. I would like to add some things to my writing/editing but it seems that they can't do that without a credit card number. --- Oh bother!
Aww that was so FUNNY!! I love it, but it's true....God Bless
