We had Power

Here is my parody of "Seasons in the sun" by Rod McKuen and Jacques Brel
We had power by Rob Hood ©2004
We had light
We had power
We had cable powered net
till the tornado came through
and fried my computer set
Hello to you my many friends
I thought we were connected
to the very end
Now I have no way to
receive or send
and my incoming messages
are lined up end to end
We had light
We had power
We had cable powered net
till the tornado came through
and fried my computer set
Hello to all
a computer dies
often after lightning
fills the skies
If you're in a bar
drinking beer
think of me
because I'll be near
We had light
We had power
We had cable powered net
till the tornado came through
and fried my computer set
Hello to all it's time to cry
and mourn my computer
that's been fried
I have no lights
I cannot see
Why has this been done to me?
We had light
We had power
We had cable powered net
till the tornado came through
and fried my computer set
Now I sit at my desk and write
thinking of Ben Franklin and his kite
in the rain with his key
The lightning hit and he could see
We had light
We had power
We had cable powered net
till the tornado came through
and fried my computer set
And now I can't understand this effect
why the lightning hit and fried my computer set
thankfully I found pen
Now I'll keep writing end on end
We had light
We had power
We had cable powered net
till the tornado came through
and fried my computer set
