Ode to the Computer

Looking forward, ever back
Waiting, waiting
Not going to crack
It's done it again
Gone off on a tangent
Waiting, waiting
When's this going to end?

There it goes
Watch it go by...
Listen, look,
And try to fly...
Frustration soars
Right up through the roof
As you are helpless
As it goes 'Kapoof'

Never responding
To what you say
Why has it always
Been this way?
Why were these things
Ever invented?
For all the trouble they cause
They're so expensive
Will we ever learn
To keep things simple?
Or forever onwards
Is what we'll have

It never works
It destroys my life
Am I alone
When I want to go for it
With a knife?

Looking forward, ever back
Waiting, waiting
Not going to crack
It's done it again
Gone off on a tangent
Waiting, waiting
When's this going to end?
