High-Tech Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A woman who hated high tech
Found computers a pain in the neck.
Whether Mac or PC,
How that gal longed to flee
Back five decades — a time machine trek.
Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you’re on Facebook, I hope you’ll join my friends in that same activity in my Limerick-Offs.

A woman who hated high tech
Broke a laptop and made it a wreck
She called Sarah Palin
To deal with her failin’s
And Sarah told her it was all part of a liberal conspiracy to destroy her and the American Dream she works so hard to preserve from terrorists don’tcha know you betcha gimme money
A woman who hated high tech
Thought computers a pain in the neck
She typed on her Royal
To which she was loyal
Mistress of the hunt and the peck.
A woman who hated high tech
Was installed as a software exec.
Her snake of a boss
Gave the Apple a toss
And now the whole garden’s a wreck.
A woman who hated high tech
Thought her computer was terrible drek
She went back to snail mails
And soon she had sales
Of her book of letters called “Hunt Peck”
A woman who hated high tech
Became so from lack of respect
Facebook wouldn’t get past it
Those pain in the asset
Saying she’s spamming? We all know THAT’S DRECK!
Said a woman who hated high-tech,
As she strolled on the promenade deck,
“I’ve had it with nodes,
So I’m sailing to Rhodes
To sample la bonhomie grecque.”
There was a women who hated high tech,
Using the laptop made her a mental wreck.
Said she, son of a gun
Computers are no fun
I’ll use pen and paper, what the heck.
A women who hated high tech
Threw her blackberry at the company exec
When they told her to leave
She was really quite pleased
Laughing away, she paused a moment to say
I’m done being a high tech exec
A woman who hated high tech
set her e-mail to always reject
invitations to rhyme
on blogs dumb or sublime
using the rubric of limerick.
A woman who hated high tech
Was subjected to a robotic peck
That caused her to think
Even as she was turning pink
That tech is not all bad, what the heck!
A woman who hated high tech
Belonged to a peculiar sect
They met face to face
Each week the same place
The talked to each other sans the text.
Uh dame what hated hi tech
Married uh rich pencil neck
Geek who kept his money
Hid ‘way from his honey.
She d’vorced him, took evry kopek.
By da way, da same t’ing happened ta my cousin Guido, but he’s more uv uh thick neck, if ya no wot I mean.
A woman who hated high tech
Was craving a hot beef on weck
Order online? No way!
She called in to say,
“Send the next one that you’ve got on deck!”
A woman who hated high tech
Hired a nerd – a real pain in the neck
Zits on face, oily hair,
Whiny voice, Gummy Bears?!!!
She said “F*^k this, I’m moving to Phuket.”
