A Serious Lack of Judgment

A Serious Lack of Judgment

By Elton Camp

Needmore ignores his child and wife
He has let computers control his life
And for people who are actually real
Little love or connection does he feel

Needmore thinks that is it just fine
To spend most of his time online
If one of his family wants to chat,
“I have no time for such as that.”

A hurt expression of that one’s face
He doesn’t recognize as a disgrace
It’s more important to take a look
For bogus friends on his Facebook

Due to his mania, he gets no exercise
But that blunder is okay in his eyes
Needmore is growing ever more fat
But he seems totally unaware of that

I suspect that there will come the day
When he’ll regret having done that way
His loving family he did harm and annoy
And his own health also he did destroy
