Facebook-farming-ville

By Francisco Rangel.

To the tune of Margaritaville by the Jimmy Buffet

Milking my cow 'n'
Fervently plowing
My pixellated parcel of land
Left-button pressing
Tendons are stressing
Carpal tunnel's destroying my hand

Wasting my time again in Constantclickaville
Hoping that my mouse finger won't bleed
Some people chime that I'm just wasting my time
But I know they're jealous of me

'less I return hither
My crops will all wither
I'd have to pay all the re-planting fees
It takes real devotion
Repetitive motion
I'm just a rat pushing buttons for cheese

Wasting my time again in Facebookfarmingville
Filling all my friend's walls with this junk
Some people roar that they will have to ignore
I don't know
Hell, they could just be drunk

I spent real money
Bought a fake bunny
But it was so cute, I just couldn't resist
At my farm decoration
I'll stare in elation
Waste moolah on stuff that just doesn't exist

Wasting my life again in Micropaymentville
Staring at my poor empty bank vault
Some emphasize that I'm not acting too wise
And to this I should just put a halt
Yes and some people quipped I'm getting totally gypped
And I know it's my own damn fault
