My computer does not work.
I told it to take the garbage out,
And nothing happened.
It gave me the Blue Screen of Death,
And I'm still alive.
It said it could clean up my desktop,
But the mess is still there.
Although it offered to let me read news,
I still don't know how to read.

Maybe I should buy a new computer.
I need a faster CPU,
Because this one hasn't moved in days.
I need more disk space,
Because my legs are cramped.
I need more memory,
But I forget why.
