Hey! What if a computer were a car? So much more economical, by far! You see at once advantages galore With all that high-tech wizardry in store. A virtual computer set on wheels..... This surely is the very best of deals! You rush to buy one of these "guided missiles", Your automotive "Dell" with bells and whistles. .................Fast forward now to one month down the road. Your frenzied brain is ready to explode! You found your car would crash three times a week! You had to pay some sly computer geek To get the blasted engine up and running. (His service bills were nothing less than stunning.) You learned that turning on the windshield wiper Would mean you really had to "pay the piper"! By sensing you clicked on that wiper part, Your car would shut down and would not restart! Your airbag system's totally annoying; It asks you "Are your sure?" before deploying. Your precious car insists, as it to scoff, You must press "start" to turn the darn thing off! Just when these gimmicks you begin to doubt, Your car without a reason locks you out! "Access denied!" until by luck you pressed At once the grille and hood. (Who would have guessed?) You feel betrayed by this hybrid computer? You should have bought a plain old two-wheeled scooter!
