Pop-Up Paranoia Poem by Mary Nagy

Pop-Up Paranoia



Is it pop-up paranoia
or can they read my mind?
Each time I simply think something
on my screen I'm sure to find.

I wonder how they know it.
Am I sending out some ~waves~?
Can I try to stop the pop-ups?
It seems nothing really saves.

My mind just starts to wonder
how they always seem to know....
just which ''Free Ads'' will interest me
and which ones not to show. :)

I am haunted with this thought now
that they see me through my screen.
I have pop-up paranoia.....
(now I'm wondering what they've seen!)

Mary, this is a wonderful poem with outstanding rhyme and rhythm :) I really enjoyed reading this. This is the first time I've read a poem referring to 'popups'. Very cute, witty and engaging :) Kim

Hi Mary, Simply love the poem, appealed to my sense of humour, I've been plagued with them myself today, don't think I like the idea that they can see me as well quite scarey thought: -))

I've experienced that situation, quite often, however not on the computer, on t.v. another thing 'have you ever thought of someone you haven't seen in a long time and then you may walk into a store, and you can't believe youe eyes' there he is!
