The Wooden Horse Came Twice Poem by Loke Kok yee
The Wooden Horse Came Twice
Insidiously he rode in the first time around
Only slow in booting and minor glitches found
Then my programs began behaving very strange
Little was being presented the way I arranged
Slowly I realized that something was going wrong
And detected virus where they did not belong
It was a Trojan bug the computer man said
Just reset your Windows and nothing more to dread
His advice was followed and things turned out real fine
Everything was running the way they were designed
Till the finalthat was to be installed
The pop-ups flashed twice; the Trojan again had called
This time he rode in with his banners flying high
Nothing yet devised for his passage to deny
Swiftly he swept through crippling all in his wake
A hefty price to pay for software that is fake
When it was over only a black screen remained
All efforts to revive it was to be in vain
But it all turned out well at the end of the day
Now I have a new computer with which to play
and did his wooden mate get pregnant? i hope there were no splinters! bri aka Brian :)
This cannot happen again- -I think of the loss of your most excellent poetry and feel we should call in the poetry police to guard your work from the dread hands of the miserable sick-minded bandits. I enjoyed your sense of humor but the expense was great.
I agree with Bri....! What a lovely poem with such sweet flow and a pinch of humor....! So you own a new computer and a beautiful poem......Well compensated! Top marks!

I hear your frustration...you have penned the nightmare of a Trojan wrecking havoc in your computer so well. I'm glad I have a USB back up for my poems...but who knows how safe anything is on the net nowadays or genuine for that matter....lol
They say nothing made in China is genuine, but then everything is made in China nowadays! Yep! I learned my lesson, all backed up now.
