MA~, AMIGA
Would you like a German keyboard
with curly `S' and ooomlaut
or rather something compatible
with the commodore 64
the first volkscomputer
followed hard on the heels by
the MSX 1, 2 and 2+
The optimalization of the pc
to pct, xt, xtt then at and
not to forget the st over
at the Pa Lin Chinese restaurant
to monitor the input of egg noodles
I hit exit F7 and go out for a bite
still don't have a spatter-proof keyboard sleeve
like the new cook from Hong Kong.
