Thanks for understanding, gyp

Computer Pet

This friendly monster, like a pet,
can stir my heart by working well.
My puff dragoon enjoys the net
and makes me think it's full of spells.

I ask and it attends my wish
and puts the world before my hands,
but in its wires my words are fish
swimming in codes I should understand.

Unlike the goose with golden eggs
it shows me what its belly hides--
When feasting bugs appear, it begs
me to decipher its insides.

Some silly owners don't obey
their pet and just ignore its rules.
When only weird results display,
they think they've bought a brand new mule.
