Incommunicado

Don’t say I didn’t email.
I answered when you wrote.
I spend my whole life keyboarding,
typing the quick note.

I can’t keep up with emails—
I know you think that’s lame.
I shot one off but it bounced back.
Should I take all the blame?

Hey, finally got your e-mail;
it didn’t come in time.
I sometimes shut my system down.
Is that such a crime?

Speaking of computers,
I’d rather do without.
If you need me urgently,
come by the house and shout.
