This contest is ending
So I will be sending
this so fast it’s blending
I hope the winner’s not already pending
For the iPad I’m swooning
Virtual Piano App I hope to be tuning
In the night of the full mooning
with my new beautiful iPad!

Ugh, not polished, but an entry nevertheless!
Is CET Central Time?

Booting up my old windows 98
Pull up a recliner and do the long, long wait

My dear old laptop, it weighs a ton
Lugging it around makes my spinal cord go numb

How I’ve longed for an iPad, sleek and thin
Silvery beauty, for valentine’s day I’d love to win!

Dearest iPad, best tablet of them all,
I keep dreaming of you at each visit to the mall!
Every day makes my fingers feel ever so lonely
For every night they dream of touching a device designed so lovely!

Each work days on a Windows laptop brings pain
Because no matter how hard it tries, its interface remains vain!
Steve Ballmers can keep despising your technologies
I know that in the end, you’ll keep all the glories!

Android, this cute little robot,
Does make some noise with its fans working on their plot,
But iPad of my dreams you stay above and strong
With your many apps, you simply can’t be wrong!

Tonight a day ends without your destined company,
Tomorrow GFI will understand that only together can there be harmony!
While I finish this poem on a heavy laptop feeling sad
I keep hope that soon I’ll be blessed with a new iPad!

Ode to my laptop

Laptop how I adore thee,
let me list the ways
When there’s nothing on TV
You give me games to play

Though winter is cold and nights are long,
you have the multimedia capabilities to play my favourite song
Though friends are faithless, there’s no one in sight,
I can download a movie, you got the gigabytes

When I run out of electricity,
can’t even have a cup of tea,
you save me from insanity
because you have your own battery

Valentine’s Day,
Brought none to play.

Yet tonight,
Ends my plight.

It’s just you and me,
Dear PS3.

Can’t imagine life before?
I discovered Mosaic in 1994.

This new technology they called the Internet.
I marveled at the amount of information I could get.
I remember I couldn’t wait for the next day!
To rush to the computer lab so I could play.
I felt like the browser was there for me to command.
To find any information at an instant on my demand!

Can’t imagine life before?
I discovered Mosaic in 1994.

When I graduated from college I was really sad.
I felt like I lost the best friend I ever had!
But then I discovered Netscape and Yahoo.
Oh how excited I was and my heart raced too!
Now I could get the Internet at home!
With a modem and service I was ready to roam.

Can’t imagine life before?
I discovered Mosaic in 1994.

Now lets jump to present day 2011.
My love for the Internet still puts me in heaven!
I have now moved to mobile devices.
To stream to me my info and vices.
I can’t imagine what my life would be.
As the Internet is now a part of me!

Can’t imagine life before?
I discovered Mosaic in 1994.

I wake in the morn
My heart is then torn

Which device will it be
My PC or my Wii

My heart beats steady
My fingers are ready

Should I surf the web
Or play games in bed

I don’t know how I’d survive
If technology wasnt alive.

We met in a chat room
Where love can fully bloom
Sure the World Wide Web is great
But you, you make me “salvavate”

Yes I love technology
But not as much as you, you see
But I still love technology
Always and forever

Our love is like a flock of doves
Flying up to heav’n above
Always and forever
Always and forever

Yes, your love is truly great
Always and forever

Like Spock to my Kirk
You Vulcan nerve pinched my heart
I less than three you.

Happy <3 Day!

I really don’t know how I used to cope without Internet
I can’t remember my life before my phone

But what really matters to me the most
Is how well you cope with roxio toast
This is an ode to my iMac-I love you.
