Talk about frustration
just let me explain what happened.
Here I was sitting at my computer
trying to write
but my muse
once again was not cooperating.
So I was punching this key
then that one
would look at what I had written
then of course
there was that delete and back space button.
Well I was using them quite regularly.
After about an hour of this
I was feeling my temper rising.
Then my muse,
God bless her decided to chip in
and the writing commenced.
It was really starting to go great
I was really getting into a rhythm
and it was really sounding good.
Then to my total surprise
the damn computer froze on me.
Then wouldn't unfreeze.
On top of it
the stupid thing erased every
little bit of my wonderful poem
the one that I had just written.
The one that had taken me hours to write.
Well first came the cuss words.
Gotta admit I didn't know I knew so many
of them til then.
Then came the threats
when I found out that I had not saved
any of my work.
After that I don't remember much.
My husband came in
and the computer
which once was my best friend
now lay in tatters.
So you can see
it really wasn't my fault
judge
I was provoked.

I really like the way that you open this with an invitation to the reader
this is a hilarious poem and I have felt exactly the same way many times - now I save everything every five minutes 
- the ending placed a nice spin on things and I really liked the way you were so open and frank the whole time - my favorite part was about the cuss words and finding out you knew more than you thought 
very nicely done!
Thank you for entering
