Eeek! What's that movement
beside me on the desk?
A mouse? I don't believe it,
it scared me half to death!
I thought these things were normal
part of technology,
So why is it moving on its own
to be the death of me?

I hate the little creatures
I really must confess
But when I bought this computer
I put it to the test ~
They told me it's necessity
a mouse is just a part
To help you glide through all the things
that would otherwise be hard.

I'm not sure if I'm happy
with this change as such
For mice are little creatures
we've come to hate so much!
They nibble to destruction
through everything in sight
So to have a mouse beside me here
just doesn't seem quite right!

Just like their furry counterparts
they have minds of their own
When I want to click on one thing
something else they show!
Wreaking havoc in my Windows
skimming across the screen,
This mouse makes me a laughing stock,
I want to kill the thing!

But I guess I must move with the times
although I don't agree
To have this little creature
perched right here beside me ~
But if he doesn't behave himself
his maker he will meet
For I only have to hit the keys;
control, ALT and delete!
