The Non-Upgradeable Upgrade



It was an idea so very full of brilliance

To add a workstation O/S to the rinse

But the rep encouraged against grain

Now the system has absolutely no gain



For it'll not use the existing O/S and shell

... Over it to stabilize - thereby extending the well 

It keeps asking for a disc not in the library

... One which could only be found with bribery



So the prized O/S will have to take a back seat

Until such time as this user can afford to meet

The extravagance of a full version O/S system

And when it happens ...  then all can listen ...
