Please Defragment Poem by Les Derbyshire

Please Defragment



Do you want to archive old items?
To start, click 'Yes'.
There are unused icons on your desktop,
To clear them, click here.
Delete your temporary files.
Uninstall unused applications.
You have 20,000 excess fragments.
To improve performance, click 'Start'.

Ah yes, my heart is fragmented.
Don't ask me to archive your file,
Tucked away in its own little folder:
'C: \friends\love that could not be\'
Encrypted.
Password-protected
To prevent unauthorized access.
Gathering digital dust.

Open Explorer.
Look again.

PLEASE NOTE: In verse 2, the line that contains backslashes may have extra unwanted ' ' marks. This is because Poemhunter, unlike any other website I've tried, will not accept the backslash on its own but translates it as html and throws the lines out!
