A sad tale of doomed love on the 'net 

    Is she really going out with him?
       Yeah, I don't know, there she is
    Let's ask her
       Betty? Is that Johnny's shirt you're wearing?
 Aha!
     Hey, it must be fun ircing with him
        Yeah, is he coming online after work today?
 A-a!
     By the way, where'd you meet him?
  
 I met him at the local con
 He turned around and smiled at me
 Do you get the picture?
 Yes, we see
 That's when I fell for my weedy little geek
  
 My friends were always calling him names
    (Names, names) 
 They said that he was
 Scrawny and strange
    (He was so strange) 
 They told me he was weird
 But liked  his straggly beard
 That's why I fell for my weedy little geek
  
 One day my boss went to my PC
 Replaced my Red Hat with Windows ME
 He told me that I must comply
 And all I could do was cry
 I didn't betray you, my weedy little geek
  
 Well, he sort of :-)'d and *kiss*ed me goodbye
 And the tears began to fall
 And as he /quitted on that dreadful night
 I begged him not to go
 But whether he heard me I'll never know
 Log on, log on, oh log on!
  
 I felt so helpess, what could I do?
 I've uninstalled AIM and lost ICQ
 At school they all stop and stare
 I can't hide my tears but I don't care
 I'll never forget him my weedy little geek...
 My weedy little geek, but now he's gone...
