and all through the house,
I sat back and watched
a resting on the couch.
The P.C. was up and running
and I.C.Q was a go,
as I sat here and waited
for someone to say hello.
With great anticipation
I stared at the screen,
the longer I watched
the more I wanted to scream.
My mouth was like cotton
and as dry as could be,
so I drank more coffee
then I had to pee.
The through the speakers
that familiar sound it came,
knock knock it went
and away went the pain.
And what to my bloodshot
eyes should I see,
not one friend online
but more than three.
As I sat down and took
the mouse in my hand,
ten online friends,
was more than I planned.
Typing as fast as my
fingers could move,
I finally settled down
and got in the grove.
Oh Baldy and Giggles
and sweet Butter Cup,
was on here with Princess
and Tonto and such.
As I was watching the messages
and poking at the keys,
once again I realized
that I had to pee.
Be right back
was my message to you,
and off to the bath room
I hurried and flew.
One by one my
friends came and gone,
I hoped and prayed
that you'd stay on.
We talked about this
and we talked about that,
and once we were alone
we went into chat.
I watched your messages
as each arrived,
you made me feel good
and oh so alive.
Then up by your name
it said you're away,
I thought and wished
and hoped you'd stay.
I sat here and watched
and started to frown,
when all of a sudden
the server went down.
I tried and tried
to get it to work,
I called it everything
even a jerk.
So since it was late
and we needed our rest,
I decided to get off
and not be a pest.
But come first light
when I am feeling well,
I will call my server
and really give them hell.
So to you my friend
I would like to say,
you brighten my life
each and every day.
