"My Computer Ate My Sandwich!"

by Michael Dowdin - Not entered

My work schedule today was hetic and very full.
I had a feeling that, this day would not be dull.

I had fixed myself a fully loaded cold sandwich.
It was something close to a three foot manwich.

On the side, I had a large bag of potato chips.
I also had peanuts, cookies, mints, and hot dips.

This was only about half, what I normally have for lunch.
Today, I will have only a small amount of food  to munch.

Then, I had the urge and went to the ladies resstroom.
On the way back, I had made a spill and had to get a broom.

But to my surprise, everything was gone, including my soup.
Whereas my computer had disappeared and flew the coup.

All my food was gone; not a single crumb was in sight.
I searched and searched hard with all my might.

I even had a very large cold bubbly soda to drink.
I couldn't believe, what I was about to think.

My computer had eaten my food, including my fries.
When I find that mega byte rat, I don't want any lies.

I became mad and put out an a.p.b., called 911, and security.
When I buy another computer, I will never leave my lunch for surety.

After she was wanted and on the run for over a year.
My computer dialed me up and said, "I'm so sorry dear."
