What is this crap I put myself through?
Falling in love with pics that aren’t you.
Damn little things, maybe 2 x 2?
What the hell am I supposed to do?

Beautiful face with long wavy hair.
Eyes that say come here if you dare.
All I can do is sit here and stare.
I’m so weak, this just isn’t fair!

Led to slaughter just like a lamb.
I think I’m safe.. then wham! Bam!
They lure me in from so many lands.
They never seem to be from where I am.

Writers and readers they all claim to be.
But I think they’re here just to tease me.
Trapped in this world, will I ever get free?
Oops! There’s a new member from across the sea.

Avatar lover, I’m such an easy target.
Fish in a barrel, I’m a sure bet.
A pretty picture, a hot name and I’m set.
Oh, here’s another, she’s the best one yet.

What’s that she says? We’re only just friends?
But baby! I don’t want us to end!
Oh well.. another email I have to send.
Will we stay friends? It just depends.

So it goes, day after day.
These little pics that send me astray.
Beckoning me to come their way.
Even the blank ones I’m ashamed to say.

Gotta run, there’s so much to do.
My new honey has just come into view.
I’m not sure where she’s from, maybe Timbuktu.
Doesn’t really matter, but then, you already knew.
