THE TROLL
You spend too much time
In front of a screen
You’ll burn your eyes out
Not sure what she means
You should get some sun
Leave your room, ride your bike
You used to have friends
Go outside, take a hike
My sister’s not helping
Nicknamed me THE TROLL
Computer games rock
They won’t steal my soul
There’s PAC-MAN and TETRIS
There’s ZELDA and PONG
ASTEROIDS, CENTIPEDE
Of course DONKEY KONG
FROGGER and MARIO
Or something bionic
And who can forget
A Hedgehog named SONIC
I don’t have to go
When my mom says, “Outside!”
Oh, wait. I get it.
You thought I was a kid
Nope! I’m forty-five.
As always, I'm not really sure where "THE TROLL" came from. But I do know there are a LOT of parents, OK, dads most likely, that play a LOT of video games.
​
But they can do that. They're grownups... as long as their wives say it's OK.
