I've only known her
just shy of a year
but, I've grown rather fond
of the fussy old dear.

At times she's attentive
to all that we ask,
quickly and smoothly
performing each task.

But sometimes she dawdles
she'll bitch and then linger,
turn a cold shoulder
and flip you the finger.

As a petulant joke
she'll take what you've said
and post it three times,
just to mess with your head.

When she's in a snit
she won't answer your call,
saying, 'try again later'...
she likes seeing you crawl.

No longer a young
and beautiful lass
still, she is ours,
we don't want her to pass.

So carry on dear
even if there's a glitch,
may she live long and prosper-
The Old Green Bitch.
