You just awake...your eyes are still shut
Still can't quite focus...still draggin' your butt
You know you need coffee...can taste that first sip
You wait for the maker...and put the mug to your lips.

The feeling is warm...just what you need
But you know you need more...and it's something to read
The paper you say? No...don't think so. Not it...
It's much more exciting...you can't wait to "Click."

You boot up your computer...you click that icon
Can't keep from grinning...you're really turned on
When the voice says "Welcome"...your heart skips a beat
You know you're addicted...all the friends that you'll meet.

And then you see it...you wait with a stare
The mail box lights up..."You've Got Mail" waiting there
Oh what a feel...you look with delight
You hoped you'd have mail...and you knew you were right!

So you go through the mail...knowing this is the best
Reading this...reading that...as you go through the rest
Some you give the "delete" key...others get your first click
You know you must hurry...you gotta be quick!

It is then that you hear it...You can't wait to see
Your heart gets a flutter...who's name will it be?
And then there it is...covering part of the screen
The sweet little sound...Ohhhh.....you know what that means!!

"Quick mail check" you promised...you said in your mind
But you just got an IM...and you're pressing for time
You know that you want to...and respond you will
So you stop what you're doing...and go for the thrill.

You "LOL" and "BRB", give Kisses and Hugs
You type and send words...refilling your mug
You give your good friend your attention and time
So that quick little "mail check"...turns into Hours Online!
