She’s sleek,
she’s silver-complexioned.
She’s trustworthy,
She’s determined.

She always welcomes
me with open arms.
She does her work diligently.
She has absolutely no qualms.

The days I‘m really busy
and have no time for her,
she wears a melancholic look
and is devoid of any fervor.

Whenever there’s a power failure,
she keeps waiting patiently
for power supply to resume
so we can bond  instantly.

In case you’re wondering
which faithful friend I’m referring to,
let me tell you she’s my Dell Inspiron.
Faithful friends like her are few.

Gita Ashok
