IF
An Online Internet Marketing Poem
If before you have turned on the coffee,
or got your kids fed,
If you are the last one dressed and ready to leave the house,
While others in the family get ready, your still moving a mouse.
If you have more friends online,
than you do in real life,
And hubby refers to you as his cyber wife.
If you cook dinner between web pages and downloads,
And your brain is dreaming about java script codes.
If your daughter tells her teacher moms a computerholic,
And you always push, "view source" to see how web pages tic,
If you are still sitting with blood shot eyes in that chair,
While the rest of the family is off having fun somewhere,
If the dishes are piled high on the counter and sink,
You know you should be doing them,
you just got to hit one more link.
If all of the above in life seem too true,
Maybe you should rule your computer, instead of letting it rule you!

Dedicated to my 4 children, Jeremy, Mariah, Jordan and Levi,
who I learned are growing to quickly
for me to allow the computer to rule me.

This poem was first published on
this site in 2002. On April 9,2005 I updated this page. Here is a
screen shot of the counter from the old page.
As you can see, it was viewed
over 2 million times in three years. This was just a practice site I
started when I was reviewing FrontPage 2002.
I am compiling an e-book that
will contain most all of the poems I have written my whole life
long. I am cosidering doing one just on teen love.
(I wrote plenty
of them when I was working on emotions of "falling out of love"
:o)
