15 Megabytes of Fame
By Elizabeta
August 18, 1998
Sitting here all alone
I wonder, does anyone know me?
Stranger in a familar place
I'm just like everyone you see
Maybe I should get out more
but no one would pay attention anyway
I get so easily lost in the crowd
I stutter and forget what to say
But in a type written world
Maybe there I'll find a place
Where they all look at the computer screen
and where no one can see your face
I'll create a million web pages
(Of course, they'll never be completely done)
Then I'll create a million more web pages
I think doing HTML codes by hand is fun
Someday someone will look at my pages
and I'll rise to internet fame!
But I ran out of web space
and AOL's to blame!
Well, my counter says
that I get a trillion million hits
but no one ever signs my guestbook
I've never seen folks as lazy as this.
I would appreciate some feedback
I know it's something I deserve
I never, ever get any email
except from my 12+ listservs!!!
All I want
is 15 megabytes of fame
I want to be admired
I want someone to know my name
I want to walk in the sun
not forever into the night
Well, a fan letter would be appreciated
or maybe my name in lights
Trying to connect but
there isn't anyone home
The world's at my fingertips
but I've never felt so alone
Well maybe my modem died
Maybe the line's disconnected
Maybe there was this huge lightning storm...
and the whole WWW was affected
I'll be signing off from under your skin soon
My attempts to connect to your sympathies failed
If you find it in your heart to do so,
PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL !!!!!!
