Low Expectations
Somewhere in the internet my date awaits
With no feet no head no shape
Minus everything in between is she
No mouth to speak of either
A simple monitor screen, written word, spread sheet
Black and white format for me with advertisements
A difficult relationship to wrap my mind around
So many messages come every day
Pages full of viruses and cookies
Information about hair products
Baldness and constipation, real estate and dating data
Commercials, ads and offerings real cheap
Her name is Spam
I am her web site man
Ready to read her like a book
Spam is mine as long as there's a purchase
Not so perfect I'm reminded
Many demands are made of me to buy
Spam Folder lives and works inside the internet
I can't forget her
Low expectations come on line
Always a key stroke away
My friends tell me, never open Spam
Even if the offer's sweet
They call her garbage
I should hit delete
