Farewell Dell Vostro laptop

You've been with me for years

We've scaled the heights of business boom

And faced the lockdown fears

My photos and my poems

In folders by the score

You've stored with many Word files

With Intel at your core

My emails you have sorted

In Microsoft Outlook

You even helped with publishing

On Amazon each book

But recently you've faltered

With more than one bad crash

The time has come to change you

Although expending cash

The new one will be faster

With memory terabyte

Its screen is even bigger

With graphics ultra bright

But I will miss you, Vostro,

As will, I'm sure, my mouse

I wish a peaceful shutdown

As you depart this house.
