Glitch
We don't know what to call it
We can't discern the cause
It is a glitch, a real hitch, enough to give us pause
We don't know who to fault it
We can't locate the name
It is a glitch, a real hitch, enough to give the claim
We don't know why we seek it
We can't detect the charm
It is a glitch, a real hitch, enough to give us harm
We don't know when to see it
We can't exhume the stiff
It is a glitch, a real hitch, enough to give the miff
We don't know how to drop it
We can't pinpoint the need
It is a glitch, a real hitch, enough to give us heed
We don't know where to fix it
We can't unearth the root
It is a glitch, a real hitch, enough to give the boot
