A Magnificent Machine

Magnificent four-portal machine 
   I undulate and pulsate on-screen
Distribute you life completely for free
   As long as you take good care of me

Smoke and stress I find hard to redress
   Specially when you indulge to excess
In the 'good life' of cigarettes and booze
   For now you win; in the long run you lose

We all seem to have the vices; I am not willing to list mine. This box could not handle them all.

Ha ha! Now I know who Joe Biden should choose for his 'Vice'-Presidential running partner. You'll compensate for Sleepy Joe's lack of energy. ~ gw

As Billy Joel sang, 'The good ole days weren't always good' - sooner or later, the bill comes due-
