Drives fill up from deleted files

As trackers follow them in piles

And then space tallies differ

For the two registers whiffle



Then interface reads deleted space   

But the other sees tracker's grace

And so its coffers are so very full

Making the whole system then pull



Lessening the chance of kernel opening

For then the graphic interface has no spring 

So we are provided with kernel updates

We're supposed to install to lessen this fate



But all it really is - is a way to placate

... For drives stuffed right up to the gates

But we're made to feel it's the way to go

When all it is ... is simply a placebo ...
