Another 4am write to post, enjoy


Poem Artwork

 Facebook of late is the place for people to play,

Before that America online was the only way,

But now-a-days neither give me a thrill,

Just something to do to keep one busy, still.

 

What is next in the internet world to busy keep,

Gotta be a computer intellect or wizard,

To bring about a future of adult fun,

But what the heck, anything can be considered enjoyable,

Especially if you are stuck at home during a wintery blizzard.

 

So keep reading the news,

Playing solitaire or games of kings,

Shopping for clothes or buying things,

Its all considered to keep one busy,

Enough of one or more will keep us all quite dizzy.

You won't believe this, that as I read that last line I got real dizzy and almost fell on the wheelchair! And that's never happened before! Are you some kind of Internet guru? Influencing people through your verse in poetry? Something going on?

Sorry that you're having trouble keeping busy. I hardly have time to write anymore. About deleting all those junk emails. Usually takes up couple of hours of my day. How about a good porn site. Another couple of hours. Chasing down all of those ways of taking advantage of some poor slob who died with millions in the bank and now you have to accept the money and launder it for some very honest and helpful foreign agent. Clean out the fuzz in your navel and "Pick your feet in Poughkeepsie." (Popeye Doyle In The French Connection.)

I for one fill some of my time writing poems. It looks like you are doing the same, Ed. Enjoyed this one. So true.

The government is already gearing all of us to live in a virtual world. That's the way it's going to be in the future (Read my poem: Future World). We are constantly being locked down. Restaurants are only for takeout, theatres are closed. We'll be living like the MATRIX world. It's a possibility that may happen in the future.
