Warning

Technology is wonderful
Sometimes, but not this morning;
Because our brand new car decided
To flash us a warning.

Buying something new you hope
You would be problem-free;
Yet nowadays, advances
Have removed that guarantee.

An exclamation point appeared;
The dashboard did display it.
I heard my husband's "uh-oh,"
Not believing he would say it.

I checked the manual and found
The tire pressure's low.
I should be grateful but I wish
I didn't have to know.

So now we have to check it out
And I am rather pissed.
I miss the good old days when
Ignorance could keep you blissed.
