I hate technology!

“Oh dang!” you yell, so very frustrated,

As your computer refuses to save,

And you click “Alt+S” repeatedly,

Your anger starts to border,

Psychopathic rage, and your clicking,

Rather incessant now,

Starts to sound like just one sound,

A cliiiiicktickticktiiiiiickcliiiickicki-ck-ck…

That goes so fast that it is barely heard,

You feel so upset!

On the verge of tears,

When your 8 year old daughter,

Still in just third grade,

Calmly walks over, and like a trained pro,

Puts her two small hands,

Right on the home-row keys,

And with just two clicks (you counted,

You saw!) she told the computer,

To save that danged file, as the popup

Popped right up, and asked her for a file name,

She calmly wrote in “Hold Cntrl,

Then press the letter s (just once!)”.

You smile an insanely wide smile,

Your mouth gaping open, from ear to ear,

As you gladly gaze at, this technological wiz,

That you so perfectly raised. ●
