Teddy Quatrains

Teddy Quatrains

The only thing I wish I did on Spring Break

that I did not get to do

was play with my oldest computer Ted.

Now who is Ted?

Ted is a 20+ year-old

black IBM Thinkpad 380XD.

He is of use to no one

but me.

Why is that?

He has a few problems

Some can be considered major

and some can be considered minor.

Much to my delight

he also doesn’t go on the internet.

I don’t know if he ever has,

but at this point it is immaterial.

What I would like to do

(And this may just be one for my imagination.)

is to use good ol’ Ted while working with

a Simply Fit board.

Now, as I’ve said before

I don’t know if that would work

but I’m currently using Mr. Ted to type this

whilst breaking my own rule.

Now what’s this rule I’m currently breaking?

My own rule about not using computers on holidays.

Granted Ted was used on a previous Easter many moons ago

so he might be the exception.

Now granted I said might,

even if it’s approaching Easter Night.

Teddy boy’s still working hard, and for me

that’s a pleasant sight.
