When the program isn’t working like it should,
No rabbit’s foot, nor horseshoe’s gonna bring you any luck.
When the techie’s not around to make things good
Ya gotta figure out a way to get yourself unstuck.
All it takes is just three fingers, and you’re sweet:
Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
When the system won’t cooperate, oh dear,
You don’t like what you’re looking at and need to move along.
If your monitor is frozen, have no fear.
I’ve got a way to break the ice. It really can’t go wrong.
It’s a clever way of turning up the heat:
Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
If it fixes my computer when it’s jammed,
Then maybe it can help with other problems in my life.
Since it’s useful when I’m really getting spammed,
It might be good to try it when I'm badgered by my wife,
Then her nagging might be something I can beat:
Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
Mom says she doesn't text in letters, I answer IK
She says she isn't going to learn whatever is IDK
When she is waiting for me I tell her BRB
And she asks me what is a GIF or a JPG
I will try to show her how to use them ASAP
When I get the text back later that its NYOB
So I send back an uplifting LMAO
I plan to tell her why its IMO
She replies with understanding: IK now what IDK
Is that a PIC is a JPG and asks if maybe IDK

Late night tipsy chats
So few and far between
Off the charts teasing stats
Then being left here on scene
I was bored just having a bit of fun with this one lmao!
What if electronics had never been invented?
Would people be as rude to each other?
What if we had no I-phones?
Would we still be talking in person?
What if the child did not have its own TV set?
Would it still talk to its parents?
What if social media had never been invented?
Would we know what LMAO means?
Look at all these cows that's runnin' free
You gotta stop sayin' OMG
Get around that group and head 'em South
Quit mumblin' LOL - shut your mouth
That bull you thought was your BFF
Is headed West 'less you turn him left
BTW that fence they broke
Comes outta your pay and that's no joke
If you say LMAO again
I'll plant this fist up beside your chin
Dang this group of whippersnappers
Dropped Willie for somethin' called Rappers
Put down that phone my young cowboy friend
Here comes the bossman around that bend
When he sees his cows are on the loose
He'll say WTF and cook your goose.

So, what is the deal, with cats and mice?
All kinds of cats, don't like to play nice
The mice run fast, teasing
Into a hole, wheezing
Cats always pay, the terrible price.

Poor cats slide around the corners and run smack dab into the wall. LMAO
I went in the woods one day
Grabbed myself a stick,
I shook it one too many times
Then landed backwards in the crick.
I looked over my shoulder
And guess what I saw,
Little tiny rabbits
Standing with maw and paw.
They hopped everywhere
I couldn't believe my eyes,
Noticed my clothes were all soaked
Then I began to rise.
There were so many rabbits
Too many, I couldn't count,
I looked over them carefully
I couldn't believe the amount.
I shook my stick at them
More appeared out of nowhere,
It was just me and my stick
That was rather unfair.
They happened to gang up on me
The more I shook my stick,
I think I peeved them off
When I tried to run, rather quick.
They pounced on my head
So many tiny rabbits,
Never go into the woods
And threaten a rabbit, with a stick.

NEVER SHAKE A STICK AT A RABBIT BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE RABBITS THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT. LMAO
The bluest skies, don't seem so blue. And the stars seem a little dimmer too. Now that your around , you put 'em all to shame. Let me break it down 'cause what I'm tryin to say is, no one gets me, like you when you kiss me. Girl, you rock me harder than some downtown band. I thought I knew what love was, but I didn't have a clue. I've never found anything that makes me feel like I do about you. You know i love u with all my heart and we got the realest relationship ever and im happy ! And i see that some girl is goin to call out my name all because you wont talk to her because of me lmao she can fall back for real ! haha but i guess we gotta get to sleep and i get to be so lucky to wake up in the mornin laying right next to you love you baby and I always will.
ROFL or LMAO or LOL
By Elton Camp
How incomprehensible these, several years ago
But communication, it is a-changing though
When talking in person or even on the phone
Our intent is by phony laughter easily shown
But when we’re writing in an IM or an e-mail
Printed words alone don’t always tell the tale
ROFL usually means it’s funny as it can be
While LMAO would be so disgusting to see
ROFL might actually be a pleasant sight
A buttock separating wouldn’t bring delight
So LOL seems the far safer choice to me
It is equivalent in speech to saying “Hee, hee.”
WTF or OMG, please don’t write these to me
For they are just as offensive as they can be
These may cause English teachers to have a fit
But their fussing won’t make any of us quit
I was here,
but now im not,
i wish i could,
smoke some pot,
I put this here,
to prove a point,
that lifes sucks,
without a joint..

and fall,
in sack
