Reboot - Sept. 16, 2024

they say that fixes most problems

turn off your computer then wait

a few seconds  flip it back on  bingo

 

too bad we can’t do that with credit cards

cancel then reopen  zero balance 

credit line reinstated

 

or pull the plug on a relationship

then reconnect the wires and

you’re up and running smoothly again

 

wouldn’t it be nice to restart life

every morning  all behavior reset  health

restored  all systems fully functional

 

sadly  it seems we must wait to die

to reboot with no promise

we’ll ever turn back on

 

there is always that other option

call Customer Service and try to find

a live person you can understand
