Introduction

Did you get a visit from The Worm? Did it pack a bag and outstay it's welcome? Yeah well it visited us first and brought the in-laws! Enjoy!

Computers...Who'd Have 'em?

Get on the Internet everyone said
It's the move that I knew I would dread
Letting gremlins into my home
Around my computer they'll roam
If I find them, they'll wish they were dead!

We logged on just as usual that night
It logged off, and it gave me a fright!
It left me a message…. How kind
That would drive me out of my mind
And introduce me to a new web site!

I've found Window's updates & it's true
They are designed to help me and you,
If only I'd done what they'd asked
Instead of moving on past
Perhaps tonight I wouldn't be in this stew?

I've followed instructions for Windows XP
At this rate I'll be up until 3
I've been at it since 5
But there's no worm alive
That's going to get the better of me!

Now as a beginner I found I've got "back up"
It's called Microsoft and hey they're no pup!
When it comes to ironing out
All these problems, well there's no doubt
Microsoft, to you I raise my cup!

O.K. so now I'm au fait with "update"
And I promise never more will I be late
I'll watch out and I won't take a chance
I'll make my Microsoft Assistant dance
They'll be downloaded, I'm not going to tempt fate!

I've a Firewall, aren't I the lucky one?
That's another thing that I should have done!
Oh these computers they are swell
'Till you get…the Virus from Hell
And then you just wish you'd never heard of .com

I've heard "you can't get this virus from e-mail"
Oh yeah & whose flagship are you trying to sail?
You can get it from the source
Then you've to let it run it's course
Next… there's the message "hey you've got mail!"

Do I open it? I wonder if it's right?
If I do… then what will be my plight?
Will I live and rue the day
That I let worms come out to play
Will I just delete it, perhaps I just might

Now my son needs to connect to the Internet
He has homework to do for school…and yet
I wonder what it was we did before
We opened up the Computer door
Oh we "did" Library, and hey what a safe bet!
