Maybe you know the famous poem by William Henry Davies called ‘Leisure’. For those of you who don’t, you can read that by clicking here. It’s the one that starts, ‘What is this life if full of care, we have no time ti stand and stare.’ Beautiful poem actually, rather simple.

Anyway, here is my own Second Life™ version, since I evidently have too much time on my hands.

What is this life if, due to bling,
We’re far too blind to see a thing?

Too blind to see the newbies fly,
To see them build, at least to try.

Too blind to see the gangster’s shoes,
So big they look just like canoes.

Too blind to see the griefing scenes,
By all those pre-pubescent teens.

Too blind to watch the Lindens frown,
When asset servers all go down.

Too blind to see the pixel passion,
Or teleport in timely fashion.

I’d like to see so many things,
So please stop blinding me with BLING!
