The 8550 printer lies still and beige,
A crock of despair, having seen better days.
Come to think of it, we can’t remember when
The bloody thing ever worked – not even on day one!
So wield the hammer, wield the hammer,
Wield the hammer on the cowling of beige;
Yes – wield the hammer, and wield it swiftly -
And give us an outlet for our techno-rage.
(Imprimatur is a Latin term from the 17th century, meaning that the Pope or other authority gives “permission to print” a document.)
