Thirteen

Thirteen ghosts
Thirteenth floor,
Twelve plus one,
Don't want no more

Thirteen ghosts sinister
Inhabit my printer...
So I sent for the Lexmark Minister

To perform a printer exorcism
This machine prints what IT wants,
Even picks it's own fonts!
Some of this stuff I never wrote,
I tell you,
This machine's got my goat...

Paper jams and printer levitation
Nothing too odd
This machine ignores gravitation!

Lately it's words outshine mine,
So maybe I'll just say,
"That's just fine!"
Sit back and take credit due
To thirteen ghosts
And their Lexmark host.
