Gremlins at Work!

Weird gremlins have been on my trail
My computer slows to pace of snail
My Facebook messages are blocked
Life as I knew it now is stopped!

But what to do? Which App to use?
Pressing wildly is bad news
Icons flash – should I engage?
Perhaps my firewall is ablaze?

We rely to such a great extent
On speed – our messages are sent
Into the ether on a click
Yet gremlins make our systems sick!

There's a «go-slow» bug somewhere inside
Silent, deadly, it can hide
Under a myriad programme keys
What have I done to cause this freeze?

Snail mail is hopeless – it's too slow
But maybe it's the way to go
At least the postman does his stuff...
Being «out of touch» is rough!
