Needmore better take control of his life before it's too late.

A Serious Lack of Judgment

 

By Elton Camp

 

Needmore ignores his child and wife

He has let computers control his life

And for people who are actually real

Little love or connection does he feel

 

Needmore thinks that is it just fine

To spend most of his time online

If one of his family wants to chat,

“I have no time for such as that.”

 

A hurt expression of that one’s face

He doesn’t recognize as a disgrace

It’s more important to take a look

For bogus friends on his Facebook

 

Due to his mania, he gets no exercise

But that blunder is okay in his eyes

Needmore is growing ever more fat

But he seems totally unaware of that

 

I suspect that there will come the day

When he’ll regret having done that way

His loving family he did harm and annoy

And his own health also he did destroy
