Its my 20th anniversary this year, that not how many years I have been married, its how long its been since I got my first computer! Computers have played a big part in my life since that very first computer, which was an Acorn Electron. This bit of poetry is about that first ever computer. If you like this then please read the [COMPUTERS] poem as that is also about computing and my love / obsession of computers. Most of my other poems are not about computers, but please give them a read. If you have any comments about this poem, maybe you love it, maybe you hate it, please feel free to send me your comments. Do I truely love my computer? well not in the same way I love my wife. When groing up my computer was the only thing that seemed to be always there for me, so yes, in some ways I probably do love computers.
First love
At the age of ten
I made a great friend
So was it a Boy
With a cool toy
Or was it a sweet girl
Doing a pretty twirl
None of the above
Was my first love
An Acorn Electron
To load my tapes on
So what it was so slow
The warmth of the glow
In front of the screen
Unreal like a dream
Creating the code
Switching the mode
Just 32K
In which to play
Computers don't care
Their just software
But that you can trust
Friendships can rust
Ones and zeroes
Digital heroes
It was my friend
Right until its end
A close up of a black computer keyboard
