The Chat Room
By Andrew Lubinus
___________________________________
I walk into a chat
A large chat full of people
People typing fast
Someone says sports
A message of computers
A large jam of notes
The chat is like jam
Honey, gooier than slime
Like a bog that sucks
It sucks you into it
You will never escape
Unless you quit now
I try to answer
NateMan speaks of aoe
My server is blocked
I try to respond
Um…er…I prefer pikemen!
No good I am lost
Jacob is bored
I tell him a funny joke
He leaves the chat room
My joke never reached him
Clogged up in the thick lag
Was my funny joke
My joke appears late
Only to be swept away
By the roaring sea
There is no stopping
The tyson rages swiftly
I know what to do
I tap the button
I must zap the offender
I start more windows
ZAP! Roars through the room
I don’t mean literally
I press it again
Soon something appears
It strikes fear into my heart
It is a chat box
I increase my clicks
More invitations flow on
My beautiful screen
My cpu goes
My ram is failing me fast
He must have some comp
NateMan writes a note
What is my favorite civ?
I cannot prevail
But something happens
The zap invitations stop
What has happened there?
I quickly type this:
I like the Assyrians.
I am the victor!
The offender says:
Ah you win my comp locked
Joyous day! I win!
