Passwords
Oh the Cloud is wonderful
Every thing in it's place
Safe and securely held
There in cyber space.
Please enter your password
To proceed to the store
That may once have been correct
But now it isn't anymore.
Did you forget your password?
Would you like to change it now?
Follow the instructions
Which will show you how.
Enter your new password.
Now enter again to confirm.
Sorry they don't match
They must be the same.
You must choose a password
Not used in the last year
Enter new one in the box
Just down here.
I am a fallible human
My memory come and goes
Have I used this already
Who the heck knows
I resort to gross profanities
Want to scream and shout
Open a window and
Throw my bloody laptop out.
Jump on it and kick it
Break the bloody thing in two
Microsoft and Apple
I hate the pair of you
A deep enduring hate
For the stress and strife
Daily you have added
To my once simple life.
You have no compassion
So long as your PC's sell
If there is any justice
You will all rot in hell.
Your request has timed out
For you took too long
And too many times
You entered data that was wrong
I want to check my Bank Balance
They said it would be fine
Seven levels of security
When you bank on line.
We really don't have
Assets to any great amount
So I really do need regularly
To check my current account
It's all safe and secure
There in cyber space
Everything kept and recorded
In its own proper place.
Please re-enter your password
We will tell you where and when
Did you forget your password
and corruption, here we go again.
