My 7 day trial version of happiness
expired on Friday
They had promised me 21 days
I guess I clicked a wrong button
now it won’t make me happy anymore
I spoke to their representative
A nice lady with a nice accent
She asked me to pay $19.95
for one year of happiness
version 2.3
She said she liked my name
my voice was hot too
so she threw in some love
version 1.6
for only $10 extra
She asked me for my credit card number
I don’t have credit card I said
I have a debit card
Suddenly she did not sound so nice
my voice was not so hot either
I searched the forums for a hack
which would allow me
a few more days of free happiness
But most tried to sell me Viagra and crack
None of them offered Prozac
I have my own shop now
Sell happiness from Juneau to Japan
If you don’t have credit cards, even debit cards will do
I also take post dated checks
Even a friendly hug will do

It was ironic to see that the suggested Web 2.0 blog read whas “How do thieves steal your identity”. Nice poem. On a similar note – I dont think we need thieves any more to steal identities. Its all a bit more of the same.
