Welcome To the Machine: Part 4
Error Code >
Laid down her arms
relinquished the chair
The challenger had arrived
flashed up onscreen
Repeating the action
She examined its power
Efforts to no avail
It returned to the scene
Our hero was facing
A technical hitch
That unforgiving popup
With the evil red sheen
Carefully she read
But could not comprehend
Commas colons and code
Both seen and unseen
Ah, the dire terminology
Bane of the user!
System thirty-two?
Now what could that mean?
She wouldn’t take defeat
At least not lying down
And so took to the cursor
Whizzed it ‘cross the screen
A courageous move
Though a foolish one too
*Miss-click*
The hard drive was wiped?
Damn this machine!
