Read before usage

by Thomas   Apr 20, 2012


I seem average, fairly normal
Sitting amidst this selection of the shop
The one you find in your average mall
The one with the owner that can't shut up

I'm reasonably priced even with taxes
Maybe a little old-fashioned, outdated
Just like ATARIs and faxes
Forgotten and underrated

Don't waste no time, hurry up
Test my utility
Don't simply ask: "what's up?"
That would show lack of compatibility

Just shorten your hospitality
Make it short, make it snappy
Question my personality
Just ask me: "Are you happy?"

I hope you're not looking for something stable
Cause you don't know what I'll do
Just read my label:
"I will complicate you"

I'll show you some introspect
Turn you inside out
Destroy your every life's aspect
You'll know what I'm talking about

Show you why life is messed up and unfair
Why the rich always win and the poor never do
Show you what we can but simply not dare
Why everyone but me hasn't got a clue

    ^^ That is my favorite stanza. It really made me smile, though not for the reason you'd think.

    Oh heavens ! I am past the sell by date, 0 to 1 seconds from silver platter to paperplate.
    Alas poor fool for me it is too late, sadly i can fool heartedly relate.
