Murder of a Chipset

A few days ago my laptop died. This is what the technician had to say.

No laptop is bad enough, verse is worse. Anyway here it is.

Murder of a Chipset

 

It was a bleak morning in September

I try hard to forget, yet remember

I pressed the mains and then the power key

But the warmth didn't reach her. How could it be?

 

I pulled all the wires and tapped all the keys

Hoping she would revive. O please! O please!

Still she stayed inert, cold and lifeless

Out of warranty and fully hopeless.

 

Thus doomed within and in gloom without

I led her to the clinic hoping it was but a bout

Nothing serious, just a cable frayed, a key loose?

Surely all was well, it was a mere bruise?

 

The lady at the counter was squat and severe

As befits one who escorts a bier

A quick reading and then she said words I forget not

"Sir, you're late. Motherboard shot."
