My meter’s running…
But I just can’t get a rhyme for “one-button mouse”. Can anyone help?
That one-button mouse is a drag
when clicking, and rolling in passes
it makes the pressing business a fag,
indeed, the cursor the networking classesthat’s all I’ve got…
though “un-buttoned blouse” comes to mind
and 'souse' and 'dowse' and 'louse'or perhaps
clicking gaily with a one-button mouse
gets Arts and Letters Daily (sans Dutton) in-house(well odes do allow irregular meter)
here’s hoping such
drollery re scrollery
is a fitting corollary……and you’d think with Steve Jobs’ connections to Pixar and therefore Disney it would have been de rigueur not to have embraced the classic "two button mouse”
