My Skinny Box of Life

Early in the morning I happily arise Same routine, set just like a clock Straight to the black box on my desk No coffee, no breakfast just straight there One button pressed then adding a code This is the place where my life blood flows Suddenly before me, is entry to the world The latest news and the latest trends Did he leave a message, today probably not Oh dear a friend’s Birthday I nearly forgot. Did they like my poem did anyone comment Did anyone read Rob’s stories on my Timeline Is catastrophe the new headlines or a little peace Did the stock market plummet or did it soar Hundreds of emails but none I really want Waiting for replies, that never seem to come Creativity stifled, as on so many I wait Yes I love it when Yahoo it flashes alive When I hear that Buzz my heart it soars Exclusivity only, for the man I adores Chatting on Facebook, to so many new friends Creative people that stimulate life Getting a lead sheet, sending off a song Booking for the theatre, a new show on line Paying my Bills with such comfort and ease Ordering my groceries, or a restaurant please And of course You-Tube the wonder of it all Missed the Emmy’s, no problem at all All missed movies, and love songs at a click A friends new album, great humor, Netflicks My Skinny Box of LifeWhile I’m beginning my day, for some its rest The cats are complaining, when, will they get fed Who would have thought to this box I am wed As I hour after hour I happily travel the world And due this little box, a great love it unfurled Oh yes, suddenly my life it will never been the same Friends who never see me, think I’m insane Dear Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Yahoo, You Tube You are the temptress sharing my life Never doubt my devotion, I’ll be a loyal wife!

Comparing that box as your temptress and you being its loyal wife... What a metaphor! This is lovely
