Videogames



Don't you just hate it?

When you got this brand-spankin' new videogame and have no idea how to play,

“Yes!!!! I'm going to win! YES!!

Then everything turns on you,

“No..NOO! That's not right!! Not Right!! NOOOOOO.”

You end up losing on your first try,

So you press the restart button and play again,

Losing each time you play,

Again and again,

A losing streak,

But you're more determined each time you lose and play for hours,

Not keeping in touch with reality,

As though your eyes are glued to the screen,

Until your fuse box explodes from playing for 48 hours straight,

Tiny flames flicker up and become larger and larger as the time passes,

Then you find something better to do,

While you watch the pretty, little, warm flames crawl up the walls,

Don't you just love it?
