Computers Can Drive You To Drink

Computers can absolutely drive us to drink It's programmed into their memory Just when we think things are all hunky dory It lets us down unceremoniously To frustrate us more we even lose some data Though we often hit “command/save” But wouldn't you know it this was the exception To these monsters we're truly enslaved The damn things treats us like a piece of crap I'm sure there are gremlins inside Trying to turn us into some raving maniacs Delight when they see us cry Can't live with them, can't live without them They've got us by those short curlicues It's almost like they enjoy watching us struggle But give in we absolutely refuse They can drive us to drink, a bloody caesar Every single night before bed Oh for the days before technology reigned When people ruled the world instead © Jack Ellison 2015

Ah... yes... Those computers! They do let Dragon and I visit all over the world. But we need Hubby around to solve the problems we get into... Fortunately, it's not me and Dragon who get flustrated. We leave all that stuf to Hubby... as we move over to the second computer... Then start all over again...LOL!

Lol. If this goes on, I may have no more use of coffee for the usual morning "uppers". All I'd need would be to check into your page then, lo and behold, I'll be wide awake! But then, can't do that without my friendly laptop...! 7 Smiles for you, Jack. :D Kim
