My Computer Has A Hold of Me

My computer has a hold of me,
This is really plain to see;
I use it for work, I use it for school
I really am a computer fool.

I'll order my dinners 3 days ahead,
I'll be using the comp even after I'm dead.
I use it for news, for info and weather,
I'm almost connected through a wireless tether.

LANs and comp parties is where you will find
That I enjoy spending most of my time.
Create real relationships, have real friends?
I would if I had more time to spend.

I use my laptop all day, and all through the night,
Thank god for the internet, cuz I look a fright.
No time to drive or personally interact
I'd rather do it online, and that is a fact.

The computer is where I choose to live
Because this is where I have the most to give.
I can watch movies, download games and some songs,
And don't ever tell me that my addiction is wrong.

Sure, I enjoy people, chatting's a blast!
But my comp is too slow, or I am too fast.
So many people have so much to share
One time I LOL'd so hard, I fell out of my chair.

Smileys depict all my emotions,
And I've even ordered some IM love potions.
Yes the computer has me, it's plain to see
But at least I'm not addicted to porn or tv.

Well tv at least. =-P ;-)

Author's Note

Another contest entry. It was nice to liven up my collected works with something that hadn't had a sense of the disturbed or macabre.
