Once upon a time Microsoft Office was reliable.
This morning, Microsoft's wasted more than two hours
On its endless "updates" that seldom change anything
And, if they do, you didn't want it changed.
That Microsoft is getting full of itself is undeniable.
We need to reassert: we pay enough, our tools are ours.
Microsoft is a service, and must accept that little thing
Before the whole relationship is permanently estranged.
When you touch a key on a typewriter, it works, instantly
(If it doesn't, something's broken; mostly that's easy to fix).
If computers can't keep up with that, they're on the wrong side of history.
Keystrokes must not need repeating, nor should even mouse-clicks.
When it's running a computer must not hiccup, must not cough.
Services must run all "updates" while computers are turned off,
And they must not change a thing that's ever worked for us before,
And if they force obsolescence, we should show them out the door.
The computer fad can go the way of buttonhooks and cigarette lighters.
Personally I made more money when we all used typewriters.
I don't think this one has the rhythm and verve of a true Nashery, so I'm not sure what the form might be called. I hope everyone else enjoys the rest of their morning. Growlgrowlgrowl, hiss, and spit.
