When Microsoft ventures into the realm of transport
And the Windows car is born, 4 wheels Intel Core i15

I/'/ll be late for work, risking dismissal from intolerant boss
Not from the thick wall of traffic sprawling before me
But the life sapping wait for Engine Management Service Pack 2 to download

Carefree Sunday meandering down dusty lanes, chasing setting sun
Shattered by dashboard lights and "Unexpected Error Please Restart"
Carpark zombie in update mode, binary slave

Watching life evaporate between reboot and rainsoaked wiper blades
The brave new world offers opportunity, professes to be our Saviour
Yet damns us all with the broken promise of the Internet Of Things

Will the fuel of today be compatible with the car of tomorrow
Or will each new day be "Exciting offer to upgrade"
When I crash for no apparent reason, I will curse the reinvention of the wheel.

I dread the day, some may say the darkening inevitability
When Microsoft ventures into the realm of transport
And the Windows car is born, 4 wheels Intel Core i15

But the life sapping wait for Engine Management Service Pack 2 to download

Carefree Sunday meandering down dusty lanes, chasing setting sun

Yet damns us all with the broken promise of the Internet Of Things

Will the fuel of today be compatible with the car of tomorrow
Or will each new day be "Exciting offer to upgrade"
When I crash for no apparent reason, I will curse the reinvention of the wheel.
