Textual Frustration
By The Hungry Pixie
I’ve been sending emails till I broke my mouse
Formatting my documents in my office and my house
Filling up my inbox till I finally go insane
Reading all the adverts till the words dance in my brain
Just another number in another hall
An information block in a communications wall
I’m textually frustrated,
Foaming at the mouth from all these words
Textually frustrated,
Another silent message that no one has heard
Got a system warning from a distant man
Adding up to a lifetime’s worth of spam
An add for Viagra makes me lose my esteem
Can I really grow hair back if I use this cream?
I’m textually frustrated
An isolated contact from a distant machine
Textually frustrated
An internet connection can’t fulful my dream
Won’t you share a text with me there’s nothing wrong
With a little exploration while my firewall’s on
I’m Textually frustrated
Weighed down by these spreadsheets till my eyeballs groan
Textually frustrated
Overblown with contact, but still sleeping alone

NB: this was originally written as a joke song, but i could never find the right chords

An anarchist would dam it all to hell,
then blow up the monitor and office as well.
=D
That's a really catchy poem, fun and sad at the same time.
samuria - i guess they would at that. Guess i'm just not cut out for Anarchy In The UK (though it is a great song!)
lydia - if you imagine a Crowded House kinda vibe then that's how it sounds in my head. Glad you liked xx
I love the "about" section of your blog :-)
Great post. Love the poem. Gotta work on the music to go with it! LOL

I bet you could whip up a tune, record, and post us a song one day. That would be cool.
Brazen teacher - thanks for the visit and the comment. I will return the favour.
Lisa - yes, it was really frustrating. I can hear it in my head, but the chords don't quite seem to fit
Michael - maybe i will do that with another song...but be warned: opinion is divided on my singing: i say i can, everyone else says i can't...
Haha totally awesome! :)
Textually frustrated, I feel the same way.
