You're right about the interesting rhymes Geoff, a mixed bag. Yes this was never going to qualify as a blank verse, seeing it's in no rhyming pentameter. But I like the sentiment in your nicely rounded off poem my friend, well done, blessings, Roy

Yeah Bro this is a drastic change from the poem I tried to enter in the contest. I am just sorry I forgot my original rhymes before I changed it for the contest. But a lot more now. Thanks mate.

Well done Geoff,

Oh my! What an easy and cheap solution. I missed this the first time around and am glad I caught this time. The letters are off my keyboard, but figure I needed to learn to type without looking. MOST of the time it works. LOL

Hi Barbara, I forgot the original rhymes I had before I changed it for the contest...still disqualified but now you have the brand new version with the final solution verses added. Thanks for coming by.

Thanks for sharing another money-saving solution with your poem. I enjoyed your rhymes and the reinforcing picture. I appreciated the explanation about the contest too. Enjoy your Sunday- Joan

Hi there,

Thank you for reviving this post. It was amusing to me because I type by touch. My keys continually disappear, but since I know the QUERTY keyboard by heart, it really doesn't matter much.

I have an ergonomic keyboard (wireless) along with the wireless mouse, and to replace it would be about $50, and I only want to do that once every two years.

Yeah, well now I will only probably have to do that too, yippee. I was switching between Logitech and MS Keyboard and Mouse Wireless sets but the tech reckons the MS one is better. I did find it took longer for the Logitech one to get "rubbed off" but no matter now. I wonder if you saw this way back when I entered it in the contest (unsuccessfully of course)...I forgot the original rhymes and I added a lot more verses this time. Thanks for coming by.

A very well-written blank verse poem about the letters on the keyboard that seem to disappear as it is used over and over again. A good solution to wear latex gloves to save the letters on the keyboard.

Hi, Sis, this is a total re-do from the contest entry which was disqualified anyway. The gloves were ok, but I like the newer solution. Hopefully only replace mouse and keyboard as one other reviewer said she does...every 2 years from now on.

What a darling poem about a strange problem and a stranger solution. It is truly charming that you explain an annoying problem in rhyming verse, You are sort of poking fun at yourself. I like that a lot.
Sorry for the confusion about the contest. It's a great little poem though.

Thanks Debbie Contest was long gone, I had a good rhyme before the contest but I forget that too. Glad the Revive Certificate came up as well for the new verses.

The secret is to keep everything clean and use your gloves. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read. There is very good imagery.

Wow. another great use for clear nail polish. I enjoyed reading this, Sankey. Your rhymes were fun and the lines were smooth to read aloud. I understand your dilemma. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Thanks Jan. As you probably remember i tried to enter it in a contest but even with very few rhymes originally it broke rules. Glad the good old Revive Certificate applied.

I had my laptop for years before I got my desktop. I did all my writing on that computer, including my book from start to finish, all the letters are there but you can see where I hit each button. I hope this solution works for the long run. Great job

Wow, how eloquently composed. What an interesting story. I appreciated the way you finalized the peice, wondering if the keyboard would be with you until the end. Happy writing and best to you in all your endeavors!
