Layoffs Have Consequences

Alas, Microsoft is back.

It may have been a cyberattack…

Or perhaps engineers

Who’d been working for years

Could’ve kept the whole system on track?

Oh Wait… You Can’t!

People used to say that Outlook

Was the worst email app.

Then it died entirely

And no one gave a crap.

I have emails for work

That I can’t receive or send

And all I can hope is that Microsoft

Decides this is the end

And chooses not to fix things

And life goes on in bliss.

So if you’re an Outlook user

Please CC a friend on this.

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.”

I’m Neither Micro Nor Soft… If You Know What I Mean

I once saw a lass dressed in lace

Who had the most beautiful face.

I said “please don’t hate

“But my name’s Windows 8.”

Then I asked “Can I crash at your place?”

Inside The Box

Trent had spiky auburn hair
Which was never out of place.
Wendell’s hair was a dangly mess
That covered up his face.

Both applied at Microsoft,
But neither got the job.
They lost it to a hairless guy
Whose name, they thought, was Bob.

So both the men, despairing,
Did shave their separate locks,
For to get employment
They needed to think inside the box.

Trent and Wendell reapplied
And once again they were denied,
For most folks care what’s in your head,
Not on it. Or so to believe I’m led.
