Herbert

At my keyboard, I was busy typing away,
when suddenly this face appeared,
with teeth long, and grey.
It said, "Hello I'm Herbert,
and I'm horrible, and mean,
right now I'm munching my way,
right through your machine.
Files, and folders, are what I love to eat,
and you have lots, and yum, 
they taste so good, and  sweet.
Now  I'm done, and I have eaten my fill, 
your computer now is nothing but junk,
please don't try to send me the bill."
Frantically I pressed ctrl, alt, and delete,
but nothing happened, and then the cat woke me,
by rubbing against my feet .
