The Siren (Epilogue)

It taunts me no more.
Sitting there,
Liberated from its box,
I cannot help but look.
It beckons me with its speed.
Like the caterpillar from its cocoon,
It is as elegant as the butterfly.
It surfs the web
Like a knife cuts through butter.
The Siren has hooked her lover.
The ship has sailed.

Note to reader:  This is a follow up on my Magpie tale, The Siren .
(And, if you haven't guessed it, both were about my new laptop.)
*doin' the happy dance*

  3. Addictive isn't it!
    Loved the egg/baseball story. Only one thing to do after such episodes. Have the car detailed then sell it!

  4. Stafford: Very addictive - mind you I went from 512 mb to 4G RAM. My ass is RAMming all over the place!

    Re: Egg-baseball: Thanks! The car didn't smell that bad because the seats were vinyl and it was a fairly easy cleanup. (But she did leave the windows open as much as she could.)

  11. Linda: Thanks! I'm having a ball zipping here and there with ease - my golden oldie (which I will keep updated) took forever to download some sites. (My mum had to use "oldie" for a couple of days while her's was in the shop - it drover her nuts!)

  13. BonyMike: I was going crazy with the old one - got the new one, but didn't yank it out of its box for a month!!! Yeah, I procrastinate. Glad to hear you got your "New and Improved" computer, too! Now, no lollygagging ... get back to writing that book, mister!
