                                     I asked the Lord to tell me

                                     Why my house is such a mess.

                                     He asked if I'd been 'computering',

                                     And I had to answer 'yes'

                                     

                                     

                                     He told me to get off my fanny

                                     And tidy up the house

                                     And so I started cleaning up...

                                     The smudges off my mouse

                                     

                                     I wiped and shined the topside.

                                     That really did the trick...

                                     I was just admiring my work..

                                     

                                     I didn't mean to 'click.'

                                     

                                     But click, I did, and oops I found

                                     A real absorbing site.

                                     That I got SO way into.

                                     I was into it all night. Sigh,

                                     

                                     Nothing's changed except my mouse

                                     It's very, very shiny.

                                     I guess my house will stay a mess...

                                     While I sit here on my heinie.
