The Dot Com Before the Storm

[good4somethingbum]

The Dot Com Before the StormTears rained on his computer screenHe’d been prayin’ for another queenBut the cyber-dealer gave him a six of heartsHe was a big time stockbrokerTill he lost big time at on-line pokerAnd maxed out the corporate Visa cardWhen he tried to win the rat race with a computer mouseTrouble fell like sleet n hail from thundercloudsIt was the dot com before the stormIt didn’t take long for it to formLife went from clear n sunny skiesTo lightnin’ in his boss’ eyesHis apologies were bags of windHe’d blown it and now the rain blew inIt was the dot com before the stormHe’d iron his wife’s office skirtThen stay home in a Batman shirtCos he’d managed to land an on-line jobIn between faxes n e-mailsHe’d check out famous femalesAnd paste his wife’s face on Angelina’s bodThen she came home early and found three boobshim watching Paris Hilton on YouTubeIt was the dot com before the stormThat fool shoulda been forewarnedLife went from clear n sunny skiesTo lightnin’ in his lady’s eyesHis apologies were bags of windHe’d blown it and now the rain blew inIt was the dot com before the stormshe chewed his butt like corn on the cobcos she’d caught him with porn on the jobIt was the dot com before the stormthe dot com before the storm…©2007 Robert George
