there was no sign of  life  
in my computer's mouse
so one couldn't scroll
within the internet's house

the arrow stayed stationary
not moving an inch
when trying to click on a page
it wouldn't flinch

one wasn't overjoyed
by the Lenovo rodent
which had stopped my
browsing quotient

with the peripheral
equipment breaking down
my face's dial displayed
a long scowling frown

were the cursor to be
more functionally kind
one might adopt a better
main-frame of mind
