Fulfilling Desires on the Web

by david kessel   Sep 11, 2005


Why live in bustles of the world
That doesn\'t think it likes you,
That leaves you hopeless, lonely, cold
And mocks and scorns and strikes you?

A world exists betweext the wires
Of my lap-top computer;
It\'s warm, it satisfies desires,
Is kinder, gentler, cuter.

It grants whatever wish I hold
If I persist in searching;
The Web, a window to a world
Upon whose sill, a-purching

Await all kinds of jobs, and mates,
And friends and travel partners,
And love affairs, sizzling dates
And deals to please us, barg\'ners.

No matter what I need or want,
With quiet, nameless power,
I\'ll bring it to my own fold
At the eleventh hour.

Search engines revving up in smoke,
The fingers rage in fury
Sometimes a pig comes in poke
But generally, duly,

I get the job, the girl, the thing
That I have always wanted;
Search engines never fail to bring
Those goods with which I\'m haunted.

The Web is virtual, they say,
But benefits are real,
You may not get them in one day,
But you will set the wheel

Of motion towards getting them.
When all is said and done,
The Internet will spew the gem
Right in your lap, my son,

So if you feel that this wide world
Is passing you right by,
Just let the teeth of your key-board
Become your true ally!

Bite into treasures of the Web
And don\'t let go until
You get them all upon your lap!
Is there a better thrill?
