Second Life is really great
Even though it's getting late
And we are stuck outside the gates
Regardless of our monthly rates

Is it some unknowing sin
That prevents us coming in?

well jinny, now you've done it

there once was a another place of life
and we all played in spite of the strife
til one day poof went the disk
it came down to limit the risk
and the unstable began to play with the knife.

yes it sucked.

yes i am bored

Maybe this is just a sign
To take a break from things online
I can't believe what I've just said
I guess this break's gone to my head

I plan to wait until it's done
I have EQ, the second one
So I'm ok for now, I guess
I'll kill some orcs to relieve stress

I sure do miss creating things
Without rare spells or magic rings
The worst part is, and I must fret
That I kill dogs, not make them pets

EQ is fun, don't get me wrong
A Bard am I, I fight with song
But as they say in SL-Ville
Your way, your life, your world, your will

driftwood is my new hero

Yes mine too

I cried
I screamed
I hit my screen

Sl still down
Oh God I hate EST
Cause I think pretty soon I will need some ECT

Lucky, I have family over to distract me
oh mighty god of login HEAR OUR PLEA
My avatar sits on the other side of the gate
emptyness fills me I must commiserate
with the others like me waiting to get through
untill then I shall remain blue

I want to play, I want to build
I want to dance til my heart's fulfilled

I want to fly, I want to skate
I want to log in before it's too late

I want to chat, I want to run
The grid monkeys take all my fun

I want to shop, I want to soar
Wow, this waiting is a bore

Here I sit with my drink in hand,
waiting, waiting for Linden Land.

At the gate the wind blows cold.
We wait here like sheep
The shepherds write cryptic notes.

The Kojima is furtive and mean.
You must keep her in close quarantine,
Or she sneaks to the slums,
And promptly becomes
Disorderly, drunk and obscene.

I'm off to a real life hockey game
But wish I could get in, just the same
My avatar could just sit there, not even moving
While away on the ice, my human is grooving

this one is for the long suffering lindens

We thank those who patiantly waited
for this server to be updated
a pox on the rest
who think it'd be best
if we were locked up and sedated

I am simply blown away,
After reading this
thread in its entirety


(You'll notice I've not only divided it into a BAD haiku, but also corrected the grammar error. There should only be an apostrophe in "it's" when it is being used as a contraction of it is. As a possessive, always use its.)

Barren trees outside
Inside trees, only one prim
Until server crash

Lumi

First the holiday's mad rush
then vacation hush
maybe up next week

I'm not in SL, but some are
And this may have just gone too far
Is there some sort of magical key
To ensure that a lucky one's Me?

sit and try just one more time
oh wait! god! i'm in!
no, stuck at load once more

I'm in
I'm in
I'M IN!!!
