Message board madness...

Living life in front of a computer screen...


Poem Artwork

I never wanted
To get online
It wasn't the thing
For me
But once I started
All I did
Was check and post
With glee
Message boards
Are what I love
I can post and reply
All day
If there isn't
Any activity
I get some going
But hey hey hey
This obsession
Does come
With side effects
Familiarity
Breeds contempt
The thrill at first
Is later replaced
With becoming
A nervous wreck
Do they like me
Do they hate me
What's a poster
To do
Get a life
Outside the Net
And sell the computer
Boo hoo

hello Lynn, I think we all feel this way one time of another. But what you have done here is express it poetically. Very good, anyway I'm a gadget freak, there's no way I'd get rid of my computer. I might move to more private writing but the computer stays. G

cute write; we just got a computer (up until just after christmas, i have been coming to the library); now i can do my writing at home. we don't have it hooked up yet (a neighbor will do it for us), so until then, i have to use the library's computer. we are waiting for our tax refunds; then we will get online and have the net. *sigh* more time at the computer (as if i already don't spend enough time on it NOW!! LOL)...

well done, lynn!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your tx. friend, karen lynn. :D

Yes, I know this feeling, maybe not the message board thing, but man I so long tried to stay away from buying and using a computer...finally someone gave me an ultra slow model and after getting online for a few months, I have now not been able to pull myself away...another addiction in life I cannot beat...LOL! Very funny and a good laugh to start my day, thanks, Ed & Rufuz
