  My friends all think
    that I'm a neb
  Cause I spend much time
    here on the web

  The good things here
    I do not abuse
  Except lots of time
    on hacker news
  
  I don't read reddit
    I will not digg
  I'm not on facebook
    My work's too big

  I do not text
    I do not tweet
  I just work on
    Things that are neat

  I check email
    throughout the day
  But there are no games
    that I will play
    
  My phone's on vibrate
    I do not chat
  My work is really
    Where it's at  
  
  Knuth and Turing
    are my big heroes
  I love to move
    Ones and zeros
   
  My head is down
    I'm in the mode
  Don't bother me
    I have to code
    
  Those who need me
    leave voicemail
  I'm much too busy
    trying not to fail
    
  I learn on-line
    and from my schools
  But I must avoid
    all sorts of trolls
    
  I can't believe
    I wrote this ode
  When I have so much
    I have to code
    
  I'm not an addict
    I have no drug
  I've got to go
    To fix a bug


I know a simple upvote is the way to show appreciation here, but this was too good to leave at it. Excellent! Captures a lot of nuances well.


Out of some odd synchronization, I read this comment while Last.FM was playing some old folk crooner delimiting his life over a music-less backdrop.
