the artful

There was once a boy I knew
from way back in high school
He was an unpopular lad
and that made him really sad

He resorted to acts of indiscretion
in a futile bid for female attention
In one stunt he ran out of luck
and got run over by a truck

Praise the medical profession
for they prevented a funeral procession
They rebuilt him with electronic parts
With an xBox, Playstation, even Mario Kart

These additions brought him joy
for who could resist a Game Boy?

But alas, he still didn’t get the dames
Cause most girls weren’t interested in games
Boys came to him like honey attracts the bee
Until Nintendo released the Wii

Now sitting alone on the shelf
He’s resorted to playing with himself
