I think your poem is so very funny, my husband and son have been giggling about it too. Definitely one to publish - you certainly have a talent. Thanks Anne from Lincoln

Maybe your Grandma has gone back in time and is attending the birth of My Great Grandfather Woods, ensurring his birth is registered in order for his descendants to find the record easily. Let me know if you find her at the birth. Fi

If, when you're looking for grandma, you find about 6 pages of English text all about V1 and V2 rockets, then let me know. I translated these pages and then lost them. I too searched the bin etc. etc. but I had to translate them all over again. Good for the brain I suppose!

The computer's swallowed grandma,,, Yes, honestly, it's true,, She pressed 'Control' and 'Enter',,, And disappeared from view. It's devoured her completely,, The thought just makes me squirm,, Maybe she's caught a virus,, Or been eaten by a worm. I've searched through the Recycle Bin,, And files of every kind,, I've even used the Internet,, But nothing did I find. In desperation I asked Jeeves My searches to refine The reply from him was negative Not a thing was found online. So, if inside your In Box My grandma you should see Please 'scan', 'copy' and 'paste' her In an email back to me.
