I will compare you to my computer, if I may? You are more lovely and more considerate; Rough deals and plenty of crud are on Ebay, And I haven’t been able to find a cyber mate: Sometimes it won’t turn on and wastes time, And often its monitor screen goes dim; And I think its ability has greatly declined, Like a mobile phone with a faulty SIM; But your very being will never ever fade Nor lose possession of its sense of humour; And I apologise for all the errors I’ve made, Please delete, and assign them all to rumour: So long as we can breathe and our eyes can see, You will always be better than a machine to me. © Neil Dufty
