The Coolest Invention

For those of us whose lives are nearly complete Who can recall life before computer spreadsheets I'd like to point out a most marvelous technical feat Which is, of course, the cool little button called 'Delete' Remember those garish, round pink erasers with green brushes below That would smudge or tear your paper so into the trash it would go And then when that 'miracle-liquid' 'White-out' came along It would turn your paper into gooey gook if you got anything wrong... But now thanks to 'Delete,' it's almost fun to make a mistake Just press a button and it's gone; it's like having and eating your cake So, to whomever's responsible for the 'Delete Button Revolution' Perhaps you'll put your mind to COVID and come up with a solution
