Popsicles and Nickels

Working online is fine if you have the time,
And the backup dime. And don't like to whine.

It's unpredictable and fickle,
Makes you eat popsicles and count nickels.

There's no drama or excitement or interaction or anything:
Hours of nothing-von-nothingness, just you and the screen.

You'll spend so much time together with your little computer
That you'll defend her in arguments: "If only folks knew her!"

She's like a very best friend, an empathetic confidant.
She just sits there and listens which is just what I want.
