The Computer's Lament
Please don't blame me
when your trains derail,
when power plants fail.
And it's not really my fault
when you don't get the mail
or not warned about the hail!
I do what you tell me to do.
Anyway, I haven't a clue
what will make you happy
or why you cry & get sappy!
And please don't say 'Lazy
You make me!' Or even crazy
when your life gets so hazy.
Truth is, I can't think for myself
(although you suspect I must),
so if your dreams turn to dust,
you should only blame yourself!
