COMPUTERS...WHO`D HAVE `EM ?

COMPUTERS....WHO`D HAVE `em ?

Get on the internet everyone said

It`s the move I knew I would dread

Letting gremlins into my home

Around my computer they`ll roam

If I find them, they`ll wish they were dead!

 

We logged on as usual that night

It logged off and gave me a fright!

It left me a message....  How kind

That would drive me out of my mind

And introduce me to a new web site!

 

I`ve found Window`s updates & it`s true

They are designed to help me and you,

If only I`d done what they asked

Instead of moving on past

Perhaps tonight I wouldn`t be in this stew?

 

I`ve followed instructions for Windows XP

At this rate I`ll be up until 3

I`ve been at it since 5

But there`s no worm alive

That`s going to get the better of me!

 

Now as a beginner I found I`ve got "back up"

It`s called Microsoft and hey they`re no pup!

When it comes to ironing out

All these problems, well there`s no doubt

Microsoft, to you I raise my cup!

 

O.K. so now I`m au fait with "update"

And I promise no more will I be late

I`ll watch out and I won`t take a chance

I`ll make my Microsoft Assistant dance

They`ll be downloaded, I`m not going to tempt fate!

 

I`ve a Firewall, aren`t I the lucky one?

That`s another thing that I should have done!

Oh these computers they are swell

`Till you get... the Virus from Hell

And then you wish you`d never heard of .com

 

I`ve heard "you can`t get this virus from email"

Oh yeah & and whose flagship are you trying to sail?

You can get it from the source

Then you let it run it`s course

Next...there`s the message " you`ve got mail!"

 

Do I open it ? I wonder if it`s right?

If I do...what will be my plight?

Will I live and rue the day

That I let worms come out to play

Will I just delete it, perhaps I just might

 

Now my son needs to connect to the internet

He has homework to do for school...and yet

I wonder what it was we did before

We opened up the Computer door

Oh we "did" Library, and hey what a safe bet!
