Geek Mountain

It started quite some time ago His name was Pitfall Harry I learned of bits and algorithms On a 2600 Atari And then there came Nintendo It began my end I think For I had to rescue Princess Zelda As a courageous lad named Link I peered at that screen for hours Each puzzle, each riddle, each stage And Gannon was no match for me My frenzied button rage The torch then passed to Genesis And with it Altered Beast Addicted to those graphics My life outside had ceased Compulsion soon would fade I slowly began to bore Then Sony created the gamers dream To brilliant to ignore Dazzled bye amazing play lost for a year or two Acting as an exercise scarecrow And girl repellant too So now I have no gaming system But it seems that my PC Is the summit of Geek Mountain And that's where you'll find me. ------------------------------------------- That last line written years ago Such games are no longer fun For Im filled with glee and happy to be Reaquainted with the sun
