Poor Little Lonely Boy

Poor little lonely boy

crawling the web in search of joy.

His only friend his cyber mouse

granting him leave from his house

he embarks upon the internet

to chat with those whom he's met.

Poor little lonely boy

his computer is his only toy

showing him the places he'll never go

printing tales of fun he'll never know.

The whole world at his fingers and in his view

on a monitor's screen of many a hue.

All the things he's never seen

in dancing pixels across his screen

Poor little lonely boy

looking for something he can enjoy

from the confines of a bed

where his only movements are fingers and head,

The rest of his body doesn't move at all

but the entire world is at his call

with a browser running at top speeds

he tries to believe that fills his needs.

It's not so lonely when he "chats"

and on his computer he can play with "CATZ".

But sooner or later Windows crashes

all his dreams the program trashes.

Poor little lonely boy

nothing left to enjoy.

Karen L. Durbin
