Lament MAG
November 8, 2008
Oh, dear
The grief I feel
Fate is cruel
I would do just about anything to turn
back time
The long hours I endured, painstakingly
calculating the order of each word
And inspecting countless synonyms for the right connotation
Flipping through old, musty-smelling library books that cause throat congestion
Reviewing search engines that bring up
endless listings from the vast internet world
And struggling to select the suitable type of citations for each source
Oh dear, Computer, you have failed me
I can no longer salvage my precious
document
If had known
Had I only known
I would do anything for that one second
To press the CTRL and S buttons
simultaneously
