Where is Grandpa

Post by mumbles »

My grandchildren sent me this :-

The computer has swallowed Grandpa
Yes, honestly its true !
He pressed “control “ and “enter”
And disappeared fron view .
It devoured him completely ,
The thought just makes me squirm.
He must have caught a virus or been eaten by a worm.
I,ve searched through the recycle bin
And files of every kind ;
I,ve even used the internet ,
But nothing did I find.
In desperation, I Asked Jeeves
My searches to refine .
The reply from him was negative ,
Not a thing was found “on-line”.
So. If inside your “inbox”,
My Grandpa you should see ,
Please “ Copy” “Scan” and “Paste” him
And send him back to me.

I'll Photoshop him a bit first and make him younger.
