Do You Love Computers

DON’T YOU LOVE COMPUTERS Don’t you just love computers? That thing With motherboard and mouse, Supposed to be a revelation Going to revolutionize, In the wider scheme of things ‘Twas said not in haste Or spoken about in jest, That thing With graphic card and floppy disc Was going to make our lives Much simpler, Quicker all round They said at the start Or was it in the beginning? That thing With memory stick and modem, Was going to refine And redesign, The way we were going to live At work, rest and play That thing With monitor and keyboard, What they didn’t tell us Or even inform us unsuspecting folks, Was about a place called cyberspace Where Cybernetics plays This has had a profound effect Of completely stuffing up your life When your computer’s information Suddenly goes walk-about, Up there, here there or anywhere Then don’t you just love a computer?
