Down Under
Screen springs to life
Icons populate digital landscape
There in the middle sits that little box
Please enter your password
Thinks what was it?
Do you want a hint?
Who was your best friend in 1957?
Sorry wrong answer
What was your first pet’s biological mother?
Sorry wrong answer
What is the height in millimetres of your favourite cousin?
Sorry wrong answer
Who was your literary hero when you were a teenager?
Sorry wrong answer
You’ve tried too many times
You’re locked out for 24 hours
Goodbye
But I need to have access
I need to stop that transaction
I don’t want to go to Australia
I mistyped Austria and predictive text took over
I need to get online now
Ah there's my password scribbled on the back of that matchbox
I’ll reboot
Screen darkens then springs to life
Icons populate digital landscape
There in the middle sits that little box
But what is happening?
Please accept my password
As my friend HAL would say
I’m sorry Dave I cannot do that
Goodbye
Listen to me!
I don’t want to go to Australia
I want to go to Austria
I want to go to Austria
I need to get online now
Hello, it’s me again
You’re having such a melt down
There’ll be no snow left in Austria
So you might as well go to Australia
G’day mate!
