ESSAY#2 THE ELUSIVE CURSOR

Where oh where has my cursor gone? Has it gone into the ewieghiet ?Or  has this elusive gismo a mischievous life of its own? Does it have imp-like impulses to confuse me?  Does it feel a necessity to jump all over the page in a childish game of hide and seek? Or is its delight to "bamboozle me?  a lovely word I first encountered in  Toronto – a truly old fashioned Ontario word dredged up from the long ago rural townships at a gossipy oh so  truly proper and tasteful tea party? Or does it have a mysterious rite of passage?” .If a sequel  of keys are not pressed in a specific manner I will hide and pout until this ignorant typist learns the correct protocol“ I do not know .I only know it really frustrates me and ,I admit ,truly humbles me and I bow down in defeat to this great opponent and so I bow out for tonight.
