Blue Screen of Death

Every time your computer crashes… a cuddly kitten dies.
The impending horror flashes in its innocent kitten eyes.
From its gentle purr to its down-soft fur, it begins to vaporize,
With one heart-wrenching «Mrew?» with its last breath,
It’s a victim of the Blue Screen of Death.
When your net connection drops, a baby seal is clubbed.
When the flow of data stops, its tiny head is drubbed,
And you think your ping is the only thing that just got whacked and scrubbed…
But, somewhere, sad brown eyes are asking Why?
Because of that Blue Screen, they had to die.
All those endless software patches and the Service Packs as well
Have empowered cyberdemons from the darkest pits of Hell,
Think of every download mirror that was broken when you came,
Now, for each one, seven years of bad luck, that still works the same…
When PowerPoint fails the mission, a fairy loses its wings.
All those slides and cool transitions flense the flight gear off the things.
And it’s Tinkerbell you’ve sent to hell at your quarterly meetings,
While Peter Pan forlornly calls her name,
Never knowing The Blue Screen her soul did claim.
Is it more like the Grim Reaper, or a black cat 'cross your path?
Is life only an equation? And how do we do the math?
Is it instinct or misguided play or deliberate attack?
Is there any way to stop it without switching to a Mac?
Every time your system goes down, a puppy dog is kicked.
When the firewall needs a hose-down, a bunny’s getting bricked,
But amidst the fear, the end is near, the computer has been tricked…
We’ve found a way to disable that Blue Screen,
But who knows what will happen now it’s Green?
