to the moon Alice

it used

to be just my wife,

my ex-wife that would nag me.

feet on the table,

don't talk with

your mouth full,

are you really going to wear

that shirt,

those pants,

those shoes?

how come you don't floss

every day,

like i do?

are you ever going to mow

the lawn,

or wait again

for the condo board

to fine us.

but now it's my car with

the orange

light on,

telling me i need gas,

my tires are low,

my oil is at 37 per cent.

my computer keeps telling me

i need the system

to be updated,

drivers,

programs need to be

downloaded.

i'm unprotected.

your MacAfee has expired.

you're in danger, danger,

danger.

you need to renew,

you need to restart, reboot.
