Ode to a monitor

I was sitting in my cubicle today looking at a data capture when quite suddenly I heard the sound of rain behind me. Puzzled, I turned to look and there, pouring from the ceiling, was a waterfall landing directly on my monitor. What an odd sight to take in; I just sat there dumbfounded for a good long moment. I finally snapped out of this ephemeral trance and reached to turn off the monitor, but not in time, as I saw its life flash before my eyes. Fare thee well my friend, perhaps we shall meet again in the next life.
