You will only need to go once

I promise you’ll never go back

I religiously played for months

Fighting the Candy Crush attack

First it was rather boringly benign

To avoid Tiffi throwing a tantrum

You finish a level one at a time

Then you reach chocolate delirium

Over again I wholeheartedly tried

What is wrong with such a horrible cream?

Oh look, after five lives (or tries) I died

If I don’t play again I’m sure I’ll scream

Fix the problem and make a fake account

The number of lives a cat has it nine

Five lives is not the minimum amount

Now you have ten lives to live with online

Though I feel like screaming I still have school

And my backpack gives me the dirty eye

Drowning in a mass of a paper pool

A solemn farewell to my straight A’s; bye

Liquorice, Chocolate, Jelly and Cream

When the fear of failing struck my stupid head

Then comes Otis with a world in a dream

Procrastination and homework I’ll tread

When was the last time I talked to my friend?

The cat with nine lives has more life than me

At least it’s not begging for lives to lend

I’m missing out, where is my sanity?

Yesterday passed and I deleted it

I ran off to my friends celebrate

Tap, tap, tap, tapping a screen with eight-bit

I saw ghostly faces; I was too late

I do not get it, I thought they heard

“Don’t fall into a foolish stupid game”

Absolutely not one named Flappy Bird!

The cat’ll have more life than you and that’s lame.
