Array ( [sid] => 1022 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Addicted [time] => 2002-07-23 21:00:57 [hometext] => This poem is for everyone who EVER spent the entire day at their computer... and for the families that worry about their sanity... LOL [bodytext] => For Heaven sakes!
Take a break!
Don't get up at 6 am
And then stay up so late!
The computer, I promise, won't sprout legs,
And it has no wings to fly,
So please just put up your feet
And rest some by and by.
I do believe that you're addicted
To the hum of that machine,
But I don't know about support groups
I could enroll you in, for that kind of thing!
I really just for just one day
That you'd just watch TV,
Take a stroll, sing rock-n-roll,
Or just go to bed and sleep.
The computer will still be here
After your one day of fun,
I don't know, but I'm pretty sure,
That it won't sprout legs and run!!!! [comments] => 6 [counter] => 564 [topic] => 7 [informant] => ginsdance [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 25 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

I use to be really bad, when the game Doom first ever came out in DOS, long before windows 95 came along, but I was addicted totally, played every single version there was and knew every single secret, with the highest level you could play. Well still like to be on the computer, since I am alone, and no sinificant other or anyone to hang out with,so I tend to be online alot. its cheaper then paying for cable, which I had dissconnected. Don't think the tv will sprout legs either!!! :)
Good funny write...... Amber Rose :)

lol. I must say I've been earbashed by this routine, being a child of the 80s.

Didn't do me any harm, i think . . .

Nice write, again. Original and amusing.
