Floppy drives and mouses don't use the same interrupts

Yet, some systems seem to hang up these devices abrupt

Allowing recognition of only one of these things or t'other ...

Meaning you can either point ... or save to disk, until you discover



What it is which keeps the floppy drives at bay whilst you're pointing

Or holds you back from the mouse, touchpad or trackball anointng

Interaction between the graphical interface and you - the user ...

Frustrating the hell out of you until you find yet another bruiser ...



Being that problem in our lives which takes the higher priority

Than coaxing the best out of a computer system's seniority

For as much as they each are supposed to indicate exactly what's wrong

Like many people you meet ... all these things really do is just follow along
