Tech Check

I do my very best,

To be tech savvy in my house...

From Netflix, Binge and Kayo,

Also, my computer and that mouse...

But no matter how hard I try,

I have a mental meltdown once a week...

When I get locked out of my accounts,

From those passwords that they seek...

Then begins the battle,

As I scratch my bloody head...

To remember what it was,

Or to create a new one now instead...

Those number and those letters,

Too many to recall...

As I try to watch the footy,

Before they kick the flamin ball...

I stand there shouting at the TV,

Hey Google, what's the go...

I just want to open this Kayo app,

And watch my footy show...

After a download from my memory,

Which is a lot slower now these days...

I suddenly remember my old password,

Those numbers and that phrase...

Then just like magic,

The apps open to my dismay...

To find out I'm no longer registered,

There's an account I need to pay....

I quickly scramble through my wallet,

Seeking a card to amend my bill...

Yet another hurdle I must jump,

Another form I need to fill...

My patience is wearing thin,

The blood pressure starts to rise...

It's my 3rd and last attempt,

There’s simply no more tries...

I'll be bloody buggered,

I've finally cracked the code...

As the app is finally opened,

When I pay the money owed...

Then which seemed an eternity,

The footy game appears...

Although a little late,

As the half time siren nears...

I guess I need to write those passwords down,

To avoid this little stunt...

After the frustration and the anger,

At least the Cowboys were in front...
