A Sad Switch story to unveil;
Where it took me; what it said;
Begs me ask you all instead…..

If you had an extra switch;
That you could press, or turn, or twitch;
To pump it up; or make it lack;
Or shut if off, or bring it back;
Make it fast; or slow it down;

Change the color; or the sound;
Make it taller, wider, shorter;
Make it your way in short order;
Make it spin, or stretch, or pour;
Wonder what you’d use it for?

Would you put a sign on it:
So everyone could play with it?
Or would you hide it well away
For fear of what the neighbors say?

If you had a little switch;
That could scratch most any itch;
Wonder when you got the knack;
How fast you'd want to change things back!

Imagine if we all could do;
Everything we wanted to;
We would need a switch-off truce;
To curb our unintended use!

Then the police would come one day;
And take your little switch away!
Well, so much for having fun;
