PIED PIPER

Out of the west
Came the pest
They said it was California
Signs were there
In the air
Don’t say we didn’t warn ya

Charlie was first
While slaking thirst
To see the hole in the box
What a surprise
Large fist size
What happened to the locks?

Some said greed
Some said need
Although it doesn’t matter
The evil tide
Took a ride
Market for chips went splatter

Their eyes glowed red
And you were dead
You new it was an error
To get between
Those jaws so mean
Silicon eating terror

Had to watch out
And give a shout
If you were a receiver
One look in those eyes
The unnerving cries
Made you a firm believer

Out of the east
A man who could feast
On many kinds of evil
Could fight without moans
And break all his bones
Sort of like Evel Kneivel

Captain R came
Spread his fame
The people need their heroes
In his tights
He won the rights
To preserve their ones and zeros

Captain Rochester
Fought the fester
But they hid well from him
LED’s glowing
Acid breath flowing
The situation was grim

But he made sense
Of the pestilence
We knew he had great skill
Did find out
Without a doubt
Counterfeit parts could kill

Those chips were wrong
With bad silicon
The evil hoards got sick
Meals on wheels
We heard the squeals
They did the job so quick

Counterfeit parts
Came by the carts
Were needed everywhere
Box or reel
No holes to seal
Finally the menace was rare

Everyone would pay
And look the other way
To have bad parts on the side
Had them sent
To prevent
Return of the bit-eating tide

If you feel
They look real
Keep those bad parts coming
Do you fear
When you hear
The angry distant drumming
