I got up this morning, but haven't yet dressed.
My dishes aren't done and my house is a mess.
Have not done my work, have not fed the cat,
just On-Line for a second and popped in to "chat".
I used to watch t.v., I used to cook Mex,
I think I remember...yeah, I used to have sex!
I used to walk upright, now roll on my chair,
tho' it causes the neighborhood children to stare.
I wanted to travel around on the Net,
been too busy chatting to get on there yet.
I wanted to Spreadsheet, Wordprocess, or Paint,
but gettin' on with them is just what I ain't!
So much to learn and I wanted to but
I'm too busy chatting and splitting a gut,
talkin' and listenin'....is it such a sin?
Oh, gawd, what a fix I have got myself in!
Then up pops a name on my neat Buddy List,
think I'll go out and give HIS tail a twist!
And in comes an I.M. from some weirdo guy
I cuss 'im, insult 'im, and tell him "bye bye".
Is there a 12 step, support group or such
for those of us folks who chat on too much?
If there was a group, I would like it just fine,
except that it prob'ly would be here On-Line!
Are there therapists here? I think I saw some.
Its got me, its got me, its power is awesome.
It's my new computer, I've had it one week.
Now I look in the mirror and I see a "geek".
Or maybe a geekess, but I see the signs,
please help me, please help me, please get me Off-Line!
Or better, please Email a burger and fries,
'Cause I'm staying On-Line, at least 'til I die!!!
