The computer swallowed Grandma

My local surgery newsletter contained this;

The Computer swallowed grandma
Yes Honestly its true
She pressed 'Control' and 'Enter'
And disappeared from view

It devoured her completely
The thought just makes me squirm
She must have caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm
I've searched through the 'Recycle bin'
And files of every kind;
I've even used the Internet
But nothing did I find

In desperation I 'Asked Jeeves'
Google to:my searches to refine
The reply from them was negative
Not a thing was found 'online'

So if inside your 'inbox'
My Grandma you should see
Please'Copy,'Scan'and'Paste'her
And send her back to me!

Try tipping a bottle of bleach into your disc drive,and if you get your grandma back rub her down with alcohol. This gets rid of the virus.
