Trouble Maker
You all know me quite well
I'm a creature from Hell
A troublesome sprite
Your lives I do blight
If you've got trouble
your woes I will double
Your machines are my joy
With them I will toy
If something is working
you'll not find me shirking
I'll pull out a wire
and perhaps cause a fire
I'll loosen a screw
and make you feel blue
I may pull out a nail
and make something fail
If 'lectric power you lose
it was me blew the fuse
Your fluorescent does flicker
and you might hear me snicker
In your freezer I'll lurk
and then it won't work
No sound on your TV?
Then that will be me
Your car will not start?
That's part of my art
And when it gets going
a tyre I'll be blowing
I'll mess with your 'puter
and turn off your router
You know your hard drive?
To wipe it I'll strive
When you took to the air
I followed you there
Apollo Thirteen?
On that I had been
That Chernobyl disaster?
I caused that for my master
'coz destruction's my game
and Gremlin's my name!!
