~Electronic Monster~


Your face is big and bright and square
as you fix me with your stoic glare
you speak in bleeps and blurps and blips
a language spoken without lips

a hungry thief, you steal my time
electronic monster...asinine!
held captive before you, I can't get away
you're much too much fun, my work...you betray

but you've taken me places, I haven't yet seen
a friend as well as a foe, you've been
you keep me in touch with family and friends
through emails received and those that I send

sometimes you won't work, "fatal error" you say
your face looks so cold, as you ruin my day
so hard to believe, when your face looks so mean
in spite of our friendship, you're just a machine

just a jumble of circuits, you haven't a care
but just how did I function, before you were there?
