A Hearty Lament

My e-reader broke
and it's no joke!
I never thought,
I would be so distraught.
You've been my friend,
through thick and thin.

Now I say goodbye,
with nary a dry eye.
As I lay you to my breast,
before your final rest,
I will always remember,
hours spent so tender.

I walked King Solomon's Mines,
in your prime,
and battled the windmills,
and many other thrills,
with that oh, so dopey,
Don Quixote.

I'm not a poet,
but at my lowest,
I seem to have found,
the words abound,
As I lament
your grave descent.

LOL, my poetry doesn't even touch the other poets on this site, and I don't have the guts to inspire myself that way anyway. I'll continue to live vicariously through you guys.

Oh, Lora, how my heart aches
Over the tragic and sad breaks
That have befallen you today
As your e-reader went astray.

I trust it was not in too much pain
As the hard floor was its gain
But that its innerworkings
Hardly felt gravity's jerking.

I guess this is not the time
To suggest you purchase
My new ebook from online...

Oh, Miss Thena, I can always count on you for a pick-me-upper. A Hearty Lament 277638789 Just went to Walmart and got a new Kindle. We'll see if I like it after it charges.

P.S. Thank you for catching the misspelling oneagleswings. I corrected it.

You will this fact appreciate
Hubby's Kindle, alas
Suffered the same fate
After being treasured
For too short a while
It found a resting place
On ceramic tile...

Lora had a kindle
But she dropped it on the floor
Alas for poor Lora
The Kindle was no more!

Lora bought a new one
And this time she was wise
She also got a warranty
To cover any bad surprise.

Now she's reading happily
With a smile upon her face
No more worries about her Kindle
Can a minor fall erase.

one day a contractor hired three men to do an excavation job.
to one an italian man, he handed a shovel,
to another a greek man he handed a wheel barrow,
and yet another an asian man, he told: "you, you are in charge of supplies.
the contractor left and when he returned at the end of the day was well pleased.
all the ditches were dug exactly as he had ordered, the work was neatly done and nothing out of place.
he was so overwhelmed he decided to take them out to eat but the asian man was missing so he asked about him.
the other workers replied: "we haven't seen him since you left"
so they decided to leave without him, as they were passing under a tree the asian man landed on the hood of the car and yelled out: "SUPPLIES!!!"
