computers are a fad

 do you really think that's all that she wrote
 that they have the answer, that we should all gloat

  the cream of the crop is yesterday's news
  there's a race going on and you might just lose

  download that new update or buy that i phone
  they know you must have it, like a dog to a bone

  it's going through trials they'll work out the bugs
  you have to expect that, you say with a shrug

  it's been outsourced for years and made in taiwan
  but it's too late now, you're their little pawn

  a house of cards is on which we stand
  how long will it be 'fore we all need a hand

  you're sure it won't break, you have faith in this scheme
  what will it take to break out of this dream

  and you have those passwords to keep it locked tight
  do you sleep at night thinking everything's right

  that hacker, that spammer never nods off a bit
  he'll take all your money and make you submit

  it's certain to freeze, destined to fail
  just as you're one click away from checking your mail

  it may not be pretty when it all goes to sh**
  in the darkness is where you will soon sit

  you play in a minefield of viral infection
  your ipad has quite the bacterial collection

  you'll be two seconds shy of sending your quote
  and wishing you could find that antidote

  cause when all of a sudden it just doesn't work
  i bet you'll fall apart and just go bezerk

  if your computer ends up in a big silent crash
  just put it carefully outside, there in the trash

  1. Oh, how I feel this one--the stories I could tell of lost data, but I won't, because you have already done such an enjoyable job of it!

    1. thank you Steve!! I got a lot of inspiration from Asimov's I JUST MAKE THEM UP, SEE!
      I wrote Submission because of this too.
