"Ode to my NES"
-A poem by Sarah Tomase-
-Published May 25th, 2004-

Oh, there once was a time
One today might venture
To call it a crime
For I was not a denture-
Wearing child, but a NES-less tyke
With only a bike

Oh, there once was a day
When I without you did play
A day I spent outdoors
And actually did my chores

I never knew the wonders of you
Until that glorious day
You appeared into view
It was from then on that I began to sway

My eyes grew wide
And my mouth grew wet
By golly, I almost cried
In fact I was everything but upset

With your tiny red buttons
I spent hours punching away
And that plus-sign looking control
You were the best looking, ever-made console

My mother's arms could not pry
Me from my NES - God forbid I cry
There was nothing she could do
It was from then on I knew

My beautiful gray NES
I was meant to from that day on
Over obsess
