She was all right for a while
She even smiled for a while
Her heart started thumping
Her energy slumping

For no rhyme or reason
Her computer was seizing
Just saved what I've written
Her nails now all bitten

The words she was typing
Her computer was swiping
She fell on her knees
And said "Oh No! Please"

Please come back again
This can't be the end
With tears that are falling
Her keyboard is stalling

Her hard drive's diminished
Her thoughts are unfinished
She'll write you tomorrow
On a computer she'll borrow.
