More Haikus for Our 5th Birthday!

Mac Geek Gab wrapped up its poetry contest. Five winners got their choice of SmileOnMyMac applications to celebrate our 5th birthday. I posted the first three winners last week. Here’s a couple more.

(Also, I have to compliment Bryan Chaffin at Apple Weekly Report. For the birthday giveaways on that show, Bryan used D&D* dice to select the winners! LOL :-) )

Form meets function here
What I can think, I can Mac
Beauty still within

And from Joshua Horne, an epic haiku (is that a contradiction in terms? Oh well…)

A story in haiku

Back in the dark times,
Computing gave no delight
I was on Windows.

A friend saw my plight
He enlightened my poor soul
“Get a Mac”, he scolds.

iMac? Mac Mini?
What could all of these names mean?
I said, “I’ll start small.”

I received my Mac;
It was so white and so slick.
Mouse, Keyboard and all.

Was simple at first
But issues always arise,
Who could now guide me?

I needed some help,
I turned to podcasts for it,
Two gabbing Mac geeks.

Once I was clueless,
Computing was not my thing.
Then a Mac I bought.

Mac Geek Gab taught me;
I’m now a master of Mac,
Where once I was not.

Thanks to everyone who wished us the best on our 5th anniversary. “Five years and still smiling” as we say!
