Don't You Love Computers


Don't You Love Computers.....

 

don't you love computers?

that thing with motherboard and mouse,

'twas supposed to be a revelation

going to revolutionize,

in the wider scheme of things,

'twas said not in haste

or spoken about in jest,

that thing with graphic card and floppy disc,

'twas going to make our lives

much simpler and quicker all round,

they said at the start

or was it in the beginning?

that thing with memory stick and modem,

was going to refine and redesign,

the way we were going to live

at work, rest and play.

that thing with monitor and keyboard,

but what they didn't tell us;

or even inform us unsuspecting folks,

was about a place called cyberspace,

where cybernetics play,

this has had a profound effect

of completely stuffing up your life,

when your computer’s information

suddenly goes walk-about,

up there or here there and everywhere,

then don't you just love computers....
