Ode to the Annoying Red Dot in the Bottom Right Corner of My Screen
Stupid, stalling, slow,
indecisive, not doing what I tell it to
when I tell it to, holding me up,
squandering what little time I have
left to finish this thing on time,
infuriating, technology-was-a-mistake,
I swear by whatever robots hold holy,
dumb, pokey, lagging,
computer.
Oh, you want
an update now?!?
I don’t have time
to wait
seven minutes and
an eternity
for that,
I have to move
fast.

I like your poem scolding tech like it was actually even listening! It’s true—nobody can “wait” for anything any more—7 minutes of waiting IS an eternity these days!
