Juice Cut ...



Seems to be a Sunday ritual

As for many it's not at all vital

... The power is cut and reset

As hard drives suffer the test



And screens re-assert their glow

And printers do their loops in tow

As soundcards and speakers emit

Their opening gasps to say they're fit



As drive-lights eventually stop flickering  

As routines slowly solve missing links

... The ones which fell by the wayside

When juice was cut, and they weren't live



- Tristram
