Dont Laugh..I Know..

One day someone said to me
You will be hooked, you just wait and see
I just laughed and said "No cant be true"
But how wrong could I be, as time just flew.

I had to get online just to see who was there
Not to do this, I just couldnt bare
Wasnt just to chat, it was just to see
Who was online, sticky beak me....

The hours online increased each day
Till I got to the stage I couldnt bare to be away.
Day after day, week after week
The weeks turned to months I just couldnt think.

I downloaded programs I thought I would need
Not knowing these were just the seed,
Pager, Yahoo Chat and ICQ,
These were the common ones that I knew.

The seed grew bigger and turned into a tree
Branches everywhere I just couldnt flee.
I wanted more I didnt know when to stop
I had to keep going till I got to the top.

I wanted more, I wanted it now,
I wanted everything no matter how.
Its like a drug you need each day
You have to be kidding I can hear you say.

It got that bad we bought another puter
I used the excuse it was for the future
The kids both need it they are at high school
But know I realise I was the fool

My family thought I was crazy, I knew they were right
I had to shorten my hours or there would be a fight.
My husband tells everyone he is a net widow
I was neglecting him and I just didnt know.

I can hear you laughing you know it is true
I have been there remember, just like you.
I have shortened my hours during the day at least
But I still hear the naughty night time beast.

Come play with me I hear it say
I try and close my ears and tell it 'AWAY'
But the call is strong no matter what I do
Any suggestions would be appreciated from you.

So answer my call and put it in my book
So anytime I feel the call I can just take a look
Thank you so much for taking the time
I know in the long run I will be just fine......

Neen
