My Cyber Family Is My Real Family

Three D people no longer hold my loyalties
I am a troll, spending up to six hours a day
Okay, make it ten
on computer sites, with my new family

Get your own dinner, I holler to my children
They rummage in my purse getting money
Whatever
I am farming; it takes hours and hours
My crops are overdue

Can you please pay attention to me? Someone whines.
It is my husband.
He is a professional whiner
If he got paid for it, we would be billionaires.

I begin to play my word games
Because my new family is sending me messages
Make your move!
Or a yawning emoji

Going to bed is easier now.
I take my electronics with me
Eventually falling asleep 
sometime between midnight and morning

Like I said...it's nice work if you can get it, and it looks like you have found a retirement life...if only for the summer.
