Dusty MOUSE


Lately my computer mouse isn't cooperating.
I click in one location, but nothing happens. 
How frustrating, when I'm working quickly 
to have to stop and click...several times. 

 This isn't normal, my mind says. So now what? 
Quickly I think...Well maybe my mouse is full 
of dust accumulated over hours of clickly wildly?
 It's worth a try. So, off for the screw drivers I go. 

 Doubts set in...What if I wreck the mouse and 
it doesn't ever work again; how can I cope? 
Well, that type of thinking gets me nowhere. 
Being a dare devil, I quickly undo the screw. 

Now, the mouse is lying helpless before me. 
Unplugged from its source of power and open. 
Immediately I spy a small dust ball next 
to the wheel. This is an optical mouse! 

Well, whatever...I remove the dust ball, 
gently blow any other cobwebs away. 
I wonder if it's possible to do the same 
with my ever cluttered mind and hard drive?

Another MONTH almost over...

APRIL was busy with lots of POETRY stuff, FAMILY CELEBRATIONS, DUP-Daughters of Utah Pioneers Convention and SPRING arriving.  Joint Poetry ...
