An Ode to Stupidity
There was a teacher at my place of work,
Whos XP was royally f*cked.
I can’t be arsed to spybot the thing,
I’d rather the OS was chucked
“You can’t!” the distraught teacher exclaims,
“My life is on my laptop”.
“I have to”, the annoyed techie explains,
“For it is about to come to a stop.”
“Spybot can only repair so much,
and, frankly it’s gone way beyond,
If it repairs, then XP won’t be good for much
and the machine would be best in the pond.”
I’ve booted the bugger with windows PE
it’s running quite nicely on that
but if there’s one thing that really, REALLY beats me
it’s why most end users are prats.
For if you never bother to backup your work
and your laptop decides to die
at best, you end up looking like a burk
at worst, you’re going to cry.
So please, resist the cover CD
and filling your PCs with crap
for as and when you bring them to me
one day, you may find I snap.
To this misguided user, I must now explain
the writing that is now on the wall
her XP install will go down the drain
go forth, and get reinstalled.
I daresay they won’t be too happy with this
but thats just really hard luck.
If you own a PC, then don’t take the piss
because we really don’t give a f*ck.
