Curse - Squiddy Geiger - March 05, 2012

First it was the Lindens
And their lackadaisical attitude
Plotting against me and
Killing my work with neglect
And their typical lack of care

That wasn't a big deal really
I got mad and swore at them
But life went on, and there
Was no permanent damage done
Lost words of import to me alone

Now I am in mortal danger
Stalked by Nature herself
My computer threatened
My vision diminished at times
The threats directed at my very soul!

Whoever the idiot was that
Crashed into the power pole
And caused my computer crash
When the lights flickered?
Merely a conduit for the curse
Nature has placed upon me
I forgive you, lousy driver
I forgive you
I still want you to rot in
The fiery pits of Hell but
I forgive you.
