When I turn on the computer
I see the wonders of nature.
I’m greeted with the green hill
Along with the blue sky
With white clouds scattered
All around the landscape.

It’s the telltale sign
Of the glorious system
That is Windows XP.
It’s a blissful scene
That will stick within me
For years to come.
