BLOG OF THE DAY
(Parody lyrics by Maureen Parrott, with apologies to Otis Redding & Steve Cropper, composers of Dock of the Bay)

Sittin' and playin' with the mouse
I never get out of this house
Tappin' keys when night comes on
And still tappin' in the light of dawn

(Chorus:)
Sittin' in front of a screen
Glowin' white, red & green
Watchin' the patterns change
Wastin' time...

I left my kids in daycare
Dial-up, check an email or two...
They tried to call to see when I'd get there
My line's busy, they couldn't get through
(Cho.)

(Interlude)
Looks like there's no new mail
But if I keep sittin' a spell
Chat, & check my auctions, then
Oh, I guess I'll check mail again

Sittin' hunched over the keys
Crampy shoulders, sore back, & stiff knees
Just a few more links to explore
I'll read 'em, then follow some more
(Cho.)

Holy self-fulfilling prophecies, Batman! You were right, Artful Codger. I spent far too much time trying to find the right protocol for posting, which may leave me a cranky and impatient mom tomorrow. Sigh. Maybe I'll make it a computer-free weekend.
