You’ve Got Fail

Microsoft had a Magic 8-Ball

And shook it every day

To get ideas for products

Based on what it had to say.

For Word, the ball said “Signs point to yes.”

For Powerpoint, it said “You should.”

But the message they most took to heart

Was “Outlook not so good.”

And Then There Were Just 14 Balls

I asked a higher being,

The all-knowing and all seeing

If I should turn my life around

Or stay the same, all safe and sound.

I saw a vision in the blue

And what it said had to be true.

I summoned my courage and focused my zen.

It said “Reply hazy. Try again.”
