Technology

I'd like to watch a video

But don't know which knobs to press.

I can't record a programme

I've tried every knob and button

I've upset all the system

And it's really in a mess.

The washing machine is just as bad

It's got programmes galore,

For cottons and synthetics

And goodness knows how many more.

I'll wait until the kids come round

They'll sort things out, I'm sure,

The youngest knows which knobs to press

And he is only four.

I cannot use the internet

Don't know how to shop online,

But give me a pen and paper

That will suit me just fine.

A word to all you manufacturers

I know maybe you'll scoff,

But all I want is something simple

And a knob which says on/off.
