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
