Techno Fire

My neighbors all came out to gander At the first sign of light I had just flicked my bic On what was to be a huge bonfire The whispers becoming frantic When they saw my kindling wood Every piece of technology that I own Which between me and freedom stood I had my DVR, my stereo Even my microwave Every modern convenience To which I'd become a slave My Gameboy, Xbox, Playstation3 Every system known to man All that played the game of me I gladly let fly from my hands I heard someone holler from the crowd Quick call the authorities When they saw I went back inside And brought out my T.V. Before it was all over For the coup de la resistance I tossed in my cell phone while it was ringing Then did a little dance As I was standing at my front door Waving to those who had joined me I turned off all the lights And did a long well needed sigh of relief
