Geek Alert

With Mom's PC defunct yet again, and our discussions of how she should just get an iMac already, the following ode seemed a propos. I also thought my brother would get a kick out of it.

Sung to the tune of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.
(With apologies to the Irish Rovers, Apple Computers, and the art of song writing in general.)

Mom's Dell got assaulted by an Apple.
As we slept unsuspecting Christmas Eve.
You may say there's no such thing as Steve Jobs.
But as for me and tech support, we believe.

She'd been playing World of Warcraft,
And we begged her "Let it go."
But she'd just slain another dragon,
And so she sat at the computer, eyes aglow.

When we saw them Christmas morning
At the scene of the attack
We found black threads from a turtleneck
And incriminating logos, like a mac.

Mom's Dell got assaulted by an Apple.

As we slept unsuspecting Christmas Eve.
You may say there's no such thing as Steve Jobs.
But as for me and tech support, we believe.

It's not Christmas without the PC
The screen looks cold and black.
And we all can't help but wonder
Should we fix the power supply, or send it back?

Now Mom's shopping 'round for iMacs.
She's so fed up with PCs
And somewhere off in Cupertino,
I know that Steve Jobs is very pleased
