Password Protected Disaster Detected

Password Puzzles by Phil Burns

AnElephantCant possibly remember all the combinations
Of numbers and letters that rattle round his befuddled old brain
Each new permutation
Adds to his frustration
He has more passwords than Scotland has drops of rain

He needs one to log onto his computer
And another to optimistically access his email
One for this great WordPress post
If he needs yet another to make toast
AnElephant goes hungry each morning without fail

He needs numbers to access his iStuff
And 4 more to open his fiend-foiling front gate
But if he’s in his jeep
Without what the French call Le Beep
He resigns himself to an automated death worse than fate

Passwords are traditionally mysterious and mystical and magic
Since Ali Baba says the secret words Open Sesame
But as AnElephant grows old
The truth must be told
He prefers their use to be somewhat more discretionary

His financial situation causes mountains of melancholy
He has bank accounts scattered all across Europe
Each with a different PIN Code
To see how many millions are owed
But each time he remembers they upgrade to a newer chip

AnElephant understands that they all have a function
To make him feel so much safer and sensibly securer
But now he becomes fretful
Because he is rather forgetful
He can no longer access his banks
In Scotland and France
He is protected but primarily penurious progressively penniless and problematically poorer
