song of software I'll probably never use

[betteroffbad]

i bought a brand new spreadsheet maker in 1989
I kept it on my shelf for forty years while i decided
what to do with all the numbers in my mind
i never got around to making the classic car newsletter
that I bought Word Star in order to make better
those disks live on my shelves with Sandiego, Carmen
and fourteen editions of Solitare and Garmin
software software I'll probably never use
I made you no promises i gave you no clues
that I would look after you always and never forget you
sometimes I don't even remember what made me want to get you
yet here you are a brimming trough where I can always reach you
go softly into that deep night my software I beseech you
