All Mental Anguish Welcomed Poem by Margaret Alice

MyBabylon English toolbar has infested
my computer, I turn it off, it turns itself on,
don’t know where it’s origin is, it lurks in
my computer’s programs ready to irritate
me with its begging requests to buy the
program since its expiry date

I never intended to buy the insistent program,
how I managed to acquire its free trial version
I’ll never know, now I’m saddled with its Intrusive
presence for eternity, it seems - now you see why
positive things can’t happen to me – I grumble and
moan all day long, need some drink

To change my complaints into a song, I must
learn to love my computer and every circum-
stance and situation in which I find my unwilling
self before positive changes can come about, my
positive book declares earnestly; but I DO love being
victimized by modern technology

Enjoying all the pains it causes me, all mental anguish
Is welcomed – so when, dear positive book, will you
bring new events about where I’ll be freed from all
this strife - and just become a happy vegetable?
