Eight Ounce Gorilla
(It's a New Cyber Jungle Out There)
We've gone wireless and beyond!
Meet the new Vista laptop ...
Ride your new Vista laptop
into cyberspace this evening.
Leave radio behind ...
Byebye, broadcast network!
C'mon, WiFi net work
right through steel contruction!
Grab a remote, whichever remote;
Start channel surfing
Or internet surfing.
Life's no more contact sport!
Skip the boring telly!
Spend the night at YouTube.
Stuff your eyes on YouTube --
see faces quite deceiving.
Play Gameboy or Nintendo.
The games will lose their lustre,
Then you'll become the luster
for the latest new releases.
Juice up your red-rimmed eyes
to speeds too fast for men --
scenes per second: ten?
Drum machines keep time.
But wait!...
The average senior citizen's
hearing aid thrrrrums
to the endless pounding drums.
Plain old life's got no more lives.
Our AD, HD world
surrenders its final sassparilla
to an eight ounce gorilla,
that's not for everyone.
