Out of Character
having noticed one day
his keyboard was dirty,
he reached for the soap spray
and gave it a SQWERTY,
before scrubbing away
‘til each letter was clean
in ignorant bliss of
having wrec ed his machine –
for the eys which once wor ed
no grad ally did not
and the more that he ty ed
the orse it all got
so that as the close
of his oem dre near,
as he atched every s mbol,
e ery sign disa ear,
he felt li e a ostman
at the end of hi ro nd,
ith barel a lette
in hi bag to b fo nd.

I did exactly the same thing, had to get a new laptop. Proves that cleanliness is simply cleanliness, not necessarily close to godliness.
I wonder if insurance covers such a loss.
And neither is Kenliness next to Doddliness.
