Laptop malfunction

Oh no!
My laptop is faulty
and I don't know what to do!
A button split
but I must still work.
It's NaPo month;
how can I fix this situation?

Wait... what?
How daunting!
So you want a submission
without that symbol?
Is this an instruction,
Or an invitation, huh?
Huh?

You should know by now
that I will find this a cool opportunity
to play with words,
particularly if a minority of individuals
think it is too difficult!
On first sight, I concur that it's tricky,
but with a bit of thought, it’s a cinch.
Starting off is as straightforward
as falling off a log.
Continuing this task is as basic
as sinking a brick in a swimming pool.
Padding out a stanza is child’s play;
almost plain sailing on a windy day.
Avoiding a particular button
is as obvious as noonday sun
and midnight stars.

So, this is my submission:
as flashy as a rat with a gold tooth.
That’s what I want to think, anyway!

P.S. this is all my own work,
but alas, I cannot sign it
without an important, missing button!
Will 'by Mrs J' work?

An inferior effort compared to the original! I had fun trying though.
