Cyber Worm

Late one night my comp went nuts


it wrecked my mind and popped my guts

I swore and cursed​

the Gods of old
I swear 'tis true
this story told

I removed my clothing​

it wasn't odd
I greased and lubed
my angry bod

I combed my hair into a point​

and disengaged my biggest joint
I dove right in
thru the microphone jack
as the notes were playing
upon my back

My eyelids bent and flayed about​

my giant feet
still hanging out

I peeked around ​

to check on stuff​

those microchips
are very rough

One more wiggle ​

and one more squirm​

I was totally in
I would catch the worm

He tried to hide by wearing a wig​

some cha cha heels and a cyber cig
but I'm no fool
I'm Greaser Geek
he's ruined my life
for over a week

I grabbed a wire to make a moustache​

and find a fashion faux pas cache
in disguise I bought him a drink
he took the bait
I gave a wink

His wormy smile was all I could stand​

I squeezed his neck with my left hand
his eyes bugged out
he smacked his lips
and 'sparks flew from
his finger tips"

The manicure that I'd paid for​

split in two
and hit the floor

His wig fell off​

and I tied him up
we inched on out
to my coffee cup

I made him see the damage done​

the pain he'd wrought
had not been fun

But to my horror ​

he glanced at the screen
worm kiddies appeared
and boy were they mean

I'm on a plane​

and won't go back
the worms have won
my heart is black

I tied Daddy worm​

to the airplane wing
funny how he shook that thing

The ropes came loose​

he ran out of luck
the jet flame helped
with an engine suck

wow! this is amazing. i like the personification of the worms. i'm not sure if they metaphorically represent things, but whatever they represent, it makes for a reeeeealllllly good poem. i enjoyed reading this

 

Nice poem. And Lozi, a worm is a type of computer virus...not sure what the difference is about it, but I know from experience that they suck hardcore.

 

Thanks Trippin' and Lozi. I have about 700 poems written, and I will share some more. A book is in the works, and I have many spooky poems...murder...ghosts who work on old trucks...crazy ladies...Cyber Worm was inspired right after I installed Anti-Virus software..I fixed him, I did ! hee hee.

 

Nice, definitely post more, man.
