Printing Problems

Yesterday, my printer worked
  today it's on the fritz.
I was in a frenzy perked
  spewing words lined in poetic blitz.
Fingers slid along the keys
 and every word was good indeed
but the final stall was a tease
 and the printer appeared deceased.
I struggled with direction
 set the keys to cleaning action
but every paper eluded perfection
 and lay in depressing dissatisfaction.
Changed the cartridges of ink
 and tried again once more
but the printer barely seemed to blink
 alas, I shut it down and swore.
