How come a copier or fax picks just the perfect time,
To quit their work, to poop right out.
It’s just a common crime.
First thing, it does not break down when
The technician “Quickly” comes.
But when they’re gone –
Oh me, oh my!
You hear that dreaded “hmmm”.
It’s if, as though, that man-made lark knows just
When to work good.
It’s like it says to you right then:
“I’d work right if I could”.
“I can’t break down for fix-it man,
Because he may so do.
Get rid of me for something else.
Replace with something new.”
“I must work well, at least as far
As fix-it man can know.
So what, that all else are perturbed,
I don’t want to be let go.”
