PassWordHell##

Though I spend a lot of my time staring at ascreen,Me and e-lec-tronics, well, we’re not what you’dcall ‘keen’,And often I am tempted to (what could be called) ‘disjoint’What follows is what I would label as a case inpoint!
I got a message from my server. And it made mequake…“Your password has expired and a new one you mustmake!”I typed in ‘roses’,'cause you know I love them. They’re the best,But my answer? “Too few characters.” was to meaddressed.So ‘prettyroses’, next I tried. T’was simple, so I thought,But, "Sorry, one numericcharacter, please." was what I got.‘1 prettyrose’ I thought would work. I typed it cleverly,And, “No blank spaces.” next they sent. I was notfilled with glee!So I obeyed. ‘1prettyrose’ I thought would do thetrick,And, "10 differentcharacters, you must use." My wrath was getting thick!‘1bloodyprettyrose’was next. The best that I could choose…But, "Sorry, at least oneUpper Case letter you must use."‘1BLOODYprettyrose’I typed. I thought that it would do,But, "No successive uppercase characters for you."‘1BloodyPrettyRose’,I typed. I thought that I obeyed,“No less than 20 characters.” My hope’d begun tofade.‘1BloodyPrettyRoseShovedSomewhere’FYouDon'tGiveAccessNow!’My bland response: "No punctuation." Ithought, Holy cow!‘1BloodyPrettyRoseShovedSomewhereFYouDontGiveAccessNow’,But, "Sorry, that password has been used."I’m done. I’ll take a bow.
Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So  Karen CharlotteMimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
