Well, it's nine pm and I'm on the 'net
It's early, I'm not even tired yet.
Don't have to wake 'til eight in the morning
My inbox dings: new message warning.
It's a cute video
Of a newborn kitten playing in snow.
I click 'related videos' and, bless my soul,
I'm going down the rabbit hole.
Now, it's midnight, I'm still sitting here
With an aching wrist and a half-numb rear.
I'll get eight hours if I quit right now,
but then I see a wiki article on Chairman Mao.
And there's knowledge on the docket,
Hey! Here's the history of the hot pocket.
I just keep a-reading and, bless my soul,
I'm going down the rabbit hole.
I understand that logically
This information's not helping me.
I don't need to search obscure hashtags,
Or read all these humble brags!
Well, it's three am and I'm starting to yawn,
Still, I make my way to Amazon.
If I buy six cheese-graters and a Kindle,
My bank account is gonna dwindle.
Keep placing items in my cart,
Then, delete them all for a fresh start.
I add to my 'Wish List' and, bless my soul,
I'm going down the rabbit hole!
I tell you true, this ain't no fiction.
The Internet is my addiction.
My own damned fault I'm glued to this screen;
There's just so much I haven't seen!
Oh, it's six am and still I stare,
Sitting awkwardly in my underwear.
I'll barely get any sleep at all,
I have caused my own downfall.
My eyes are dry, my neck's a wreck,
I swear I'm gonna turn this off in just one sec.
I take a peek at Reddit and, bless my soul,...
I take a peek at Instagram and, I take a peek at EBay, and I take a peek at TV Tropes and, bless my soul,...
I'm going down the rabbit hole!
