All that is gold
Tolkien's prophecy rewritten for the modern age:
All that is gold is just glitter,
No sales are worth what is lost;
The old that still works is better,
Than shiny, new stuff bought at cost.
From a slumber the owner shall be woken,
A leak from the pipes shall spring;
A plumber shall fix what is broken,
The penniless again shall be crying.
