Angry Birds Obsessed

When I was young, the mother of a friend,

played video games while she was at school.

Occasionally to the house she would tend.

Mostly that was the exception to the rule.

Frowned upon by others equally distracted by Soaps,

those addicted to Oprah, and even sad lonely mopes,

because she wasted hours playing games
to enjoy days and forget about trouble.
It's funny to think that she was called names
'cuz now gaming pride's more than double.

Angry Birds is extremely popular to all ages
for the simple yet pure joy of destruction.
We strive for three stars at all stages.
Time Away = Happiness Reduction
To announce the game in Spain they built
a real life Angry Birds you couldn't tilt.

Explosions bearing digital resemblance
rained debris on the crowd below.
I think a TV show bearing it's semblance
would be quite a fun participatory show.

I hope we're right to say it could improve
memory, logic and problem solving skills.
If not a government ban will have to remove
our access as they do to addictive pills.
They can't expect us to willfully abstain.
From catapulting birds I won't refrain!
Next you know we'll need support groups
for Angry Bird Addicts in recovery.
Do you love the game or think it's an oops?
Or have you yet to make the discovery?
