Gag Order

I got back to my apartment and it looked better
Than when I left it, except where it was wetter
In a small area by my laptop computer
Which was suddenly useless like a stud horse post-neuter
I ordered a new one since life without one would be bleak
I was told it would be ready in about a week
In the meantime I would have to pay
To use the computers at an Internet café

I gave them a dollar, accessed my e-mail and checked it
I had far too much spam, just as I had expected
The only one in my inbox was from Hansomedevl666
It took a bit of time, but I remembered that was Nick’s
Address and by Nick I mean the old man whose mistakes
Made me more miserable than Indiana Jones around snakes
The message said it was best for me not to say
Anything about what I had learned in the past few days
And if I keep quiet for the next year then
I might have a chance of seeing Samantha again

It wasn’t quite fair, but what could I do?
I couldn’t read more since the screen had turned blue
All the time that I got for my dollar was spent
With nowhere to go but home, home is where I went
Although I suppose I made my own bad luck
With ten grand, I should’ve brought more than a buck
