Cheeses

(Louises)

 

Oh, mouse

Poor mouse

You went swimming

In my coffee

Yesterday

It you had been more traditional,

You would have paddled better

(and at all)

You spent the night in my

Dish-drainer and now are hanging

On a hook with a cutting board that

Has a loop

But I’m sorry to say

You have been replaced

(at a cost of seven dollars)

Well, you dry

Then rest some more in your

Newly dry state

You may be the backup now

The new mouse is okay

I couldn’t write without it

Or you

The touchpad never working right

(or at all)

On the old computer

 

Microsoft, by the way, sent me a

Message that

Our operating system no longer

Is supported

The best advice to buy a new machine

And would I like to see some

Suggestions

 

Sheesh, would Microsoft like to

(you think I’m going to say something

now, and I’m going to say

another thing)

Give me a new machine

Surely, some holiday is coming

 

Microsoft would say,

We can’t afford to do that

To which I say, I believe

You could give everyone a computer today

(I mean everyone)

And still make profit

Enormously, tomorrow

I have a friend there

Maybe Eric would like to

Pass my suggestion along, or

Maybe he’d rather keep his job

 

Which for you, mouse, is neither here

Nor there

Rest, dry, then stand by

You never know

I never know

When I might have to call

The electric play
