These Are My JOTtings...

Where is That Audio Book?

Do tell me where the book is found!
I bought it years ago.
I love the friendly reader's sound.
She helps me story know.

Is there a file iTunes has hid?
Is there an app for that?
Without permission has it rid
my book and made it splat?

I had it on my iPhone 6,
until the mem'ry maxed
and now computer's many tricks
have made my mind quite taxed.

O, where are days of cassette tapes?
Just pop it in and play!
Who needs this mess with mouth agape?
"Time-Save Device?" I say.

I bought it out in cyberspace.
I lost it in the core.
I wonder what this great disgrace
is universal for!

Enjoy your forced asylum, Book!
I knew you well back when.
But now the CDs I shall look
to play when choose again.

To learn computer language skills
is just like ESL.
"Please help me speak as natives will
that my thought truly tell."

Please, take my hand and help me find
the file I need to see.
Computers can be very kind,
when they are helping me.

But now I want to find a pen
and paper here to write
Or knife and stone would be a win
to make me feel alright.

Let's s'pose that it would simple be
to find a copy, read.
The voice of audio would be me,
experience, indeed.
