The King Of Loserville

Member since 2003 · Posted 6 Mar 2006 · 9 comments

It's winter time and it's friday night I've got the rental movie of my choice popping corn in the microwave provides the only noise I've got my chair positioned just so right I got a harpoon on my left Surround sound is impeccable God I wish there was more to it. I look around, I've got more paraphenilia than a million, billion Star Trek fans and my only friend in the world right now thinks I've gone completely mad I live each waking moment hoping for a slight reprieve then that cloud of reality lifts so I stare blindly at the TV. I think a lot about later in my life and my room at the nursing home will I still be able to dress and relieve myself? will I be all alone? will some cancer finally get to me? or will it be an attacking heart? or is this all just pointless thoughts? or will I play that part? I'm the King of Loserville I'm the pathetic prince I'd rather live in a shopping cart than up at the Ritz You'll find me in my basement pad Some think I need to get laid Still living with my mom and dad Probably till I'm old and gray.

not sure how to vote yet (still cogitating), but aptly titled.

Figure out a way to kill three quarters of the "I"s and this'll get a lot better.

'Some think I should get laid' would fit better.

You should cut down on the use of "I" to a bare minimum. It creates a kind of drone within a poem, when used too much. Also, the way you describe this loser is cliche: trekkie, living with mom & pop, needs to get laid... Try to be a little more creative.

Overall, I give it a six.

Unfortunately i wasn't trying to be cliche, it describes me to a tee , ( just replace Trek with Wars), everything else is pretty accurate. bummer

Well, spice yourself up damn-it. Go to Vegas and do that thing.

Star Wars was great up until Episode 2.
What did you think to Episode 3?

3 was great, I could give or take 1 and 2, just start me off with 3 and plow right into the original trilogy
