FRUSTRATION

Jeanne, if the shoe does you fit, you’ll just have to wear it
When you close without saving, you’ll just have to bear it
Lost files on the disk, seem to send you a raving
When to find them once more is what you are craving

Calm down my Fair Lady, don’t get carried away
There are worse things in life which can lead you astray
Like a total breakdown of your husband’s hard drive
We know that would most surely eat you alive

If you intend to continue with this cyberspace stuff
You must understand that it’s stuff can be tough
So, don’t waste your time with the gnashing of teeth
Just acknowledge the good things computers bequeath

Go back to your windows, your e-mails and screen
If key-board-ed right, they’ll be not at all mean
With dot-coms, back slashes in all their right places
You’ll find of your anger, there’ll be very few traces
