Okay here's a start... It started this song in my mind and with minor modificaations...
Burnt Out Blues
Tune: My Pencil Won't Write No More
B.Carter
Now listen here folks, I've a sad tale to tell
Technology burnt my pencil, with a laptop Dell
Chorus:
And now my lead's all gone
Oh the lead's all gone
Oh the lead's all gone
This pencil won't write no more.
I laid down in my bed, just to type out a line
I couldn't feel my ol' laptop heatin' up so fine
I gets out of my bed, laid it down on the floor
I but it scorched my ol' pencil, it won't write no more
I met a hot mama, I want to love her so bad
I burnt all the lead in the pencil I had
I hugged and I kissed her all last night
There wasn't nothin' more cause my pencil won't write
Man, protect your pencils, keyboards aren't the same
If that lead goes up in flames it's a cryin' shame
It brought to mind this thread previous thread on pencils
