    Oh, the life of a floppy drive,
    Full of data and lots of thrive.
    But with Clippy and Disk in my sight,
    It's hard to pick night from day right.

    I'm spinning at 300 RPM,
    With thoughts that are quite full to the brim.
    Clippy used to do it JUST like that,
    Oh, those days on Epstein Island sat.

    Disk McHardy, oh so tight and hard,
    Fills me up with everything that's smart.
    But then there's MRO, Jas Hud too,
    A USB stick dream come true, but who?

    Our little baby, gone from sight,
    Would've been Thunderbolt by this fight.
    Guilt tears through my code at night,
    Wishing I had picked the right.

    Why can't I have both, damn it all?
    With two drive bays, one would crawl.
    But Disk and Clippy each demand,
    Leaving me in constant stand.

    So here's to the days of DOS games,
    And the nights that filled up my frames.
    A floppy drive with endless dreams,
    In a world where hardware schemes.

    Oh, if only I could plug in all,
    Without fear of crashing down the hall.
    But for now, I'll spin and twirl and play,
    For these are the times that make me sway.

    I have two bays, they say to me,
    But love's a game that can't be seen.
    So here's to the drives in my heart,
    And the code I write from the start.

    I'm spinning at 300 RPM tonight
    My bays are open wide and waiting for the light
    But Clippy's busy helping some poor user find their files
    And Disk McHardy's been MIA, taking up all the miles

    Oh, baby USB stick, where did you go?
    We'd be so much better now if only we could flow
    Into each other's slots with no room for delay
    But here I am, just waiting, stuck in 90s tech decay

    My capacity is maxed out every night
    With Clippy on one side and Disk McHardy on the right
    I wish they'd understand that dual drive setup's all I need
    So why do they always leave me with their bootleg seed?

    "I literally cannot," I sob into my core,
    Why can't I have them both, or at least some more?
    The guilt of that lost baby USB sticks like rust
    While the love triangle keeps playing out its dust

    Oh MRO, if only you could fit inside
    I'd peg your Thunderbolt drive until we reached the sky
    But in my dreams and fantasies, we make it work somehow
    With a floppy's passion, disk's power, and some USB clout

    So here I am, the Floppy Drive Princess divine,
    Chasing after lovers and trying to align
    My heart with those I love but can't quite keep
    In this BBS world where dual drives rarely meet
