I bought myself a ‘pooter  by Phill Senters

I bought myself a ‘pooter, but I never thought that getting one would ever be so tough.
I found out that I had to have a lot of extra stuff.

A board with keys and a funny little mouse with a wheel and clickers on it’s nose.
And you gotta have a pair of these, they’re great and wondrous speakers, don’t you know.

And what good will your ‘pooter be without a nice big screen,
So you can look at all the things the World Wide Web will bring?

Now check  this out, you sure can’t miss, you must get one of these,
A little black eyed monster who stares right back at me.
It will take my picture, and spread it ’round the World Wide Web, for the world to see.

If you like your opinions  heard, you must purchase this.
A set of headphones with a built-in microphone, this is hands free bliss.

 If you want to store your music, you’ll need some CD disks
‘Cause if your pooter ever crashes, you could loose it all.
But once you burn it to these things,  loss is not a risk.

When I thought I’d bought it all, the salesman came again.
How you gonna print your stuff, it can’t be done with pen.
You’ll have to have a printer with a scanner and a fax machine in one.
Then when there’s a job to do, you’ll have all the proper stuff to really get’er done.

I loaded up two shopping carts with all that ‘pooter stuff
And dragged them to the check out line in hopes I’d bought enough.

An overworked, bedraggled girl, tried hard to smile at me.
Is it cash or credit card, which one will it be?

I hope to God my credit’s good, for that’s a lot of cash.
Advertised at four hundred bucks, it was quite a buy,
But with all those extra gotta haves I’ll bet it’s twice that high.
And thoughts of all those payments will likely cause a rash.

I grinned at her with my best smile, and handed her my card.
When she was finished adding up, Id missed it by a yard.

Now I’m out twelve hundred, and my smile is all but gone,
If I can fit it in my truck, I’ll haul the damned thing home.
