Balladeer has many fears, his worst is of addiction
Being hooked on anything can be a tough affliction
Alcoholics battle, almost everyday
It takes alot of discipline to push that booze away

Smokers are very much the same, when they flick that bic
Very few have the will to put them down and quit.
Then there's dopers loving drugs, the problem's very real,
They lie and cheat, do anything, to get that certain "feel"

Balladeer too has one, it's filled his days with strife,
His obsession bashing Toerag, domintates his life.
So he's made a big decision, he knows he has to quit,
He must disconnect the internet, and stay away from PIP.

"Maybe Animal Control
Will get this monkey off my back"
But I'm afraid that they may fine me
For my cruelty to Toerag".

Now his screen is dark and drab
No more bashing sweet Toerag
His days now boring with withdrawel
Staring at his light blue walls.

Then he got to thinking, "Perhaps it's habit only,
I've never felt this empty, dejected and so lonely."
So he hooked up his "I.V"-to his cable modem,
Got back on the internet, with vigor and emotion.

He logged on to AOL, with joyful happy tears,
Hearing "You have mail" again was music to his ears
"Maybe I'm not hooked, I'm really just not sure,
But if there's a "Toe-Anonymous", I'm sure there is a cure."

Addickted..now THAT'Sa good word for you.

Nah, I'm not addicted. It's just one of those human nature things. You see a bug, you want to step on it. A healthy animal sees a wounded one, he attacks. I see you, I have to inflict pain....all part of the circle of life.

I will admit, though, not see your ugliness around did make this a much more boring place...welcome back, turtle lips

Sometimes... you've just got to admit that the addiction is more powerful than you... and live accordingly. LOL

I hope he never finds that cure... even if he is mean to your sweet timid self! LOL
