If Only I Could Afford a PS3: V1.0

I don't have much money,
But life is still sunny
When I can trade old for new.
It doesn't cost much
To keep in touch
With the joys of PS2.

But what is this thing
That arrives in the Spring,
Which incites a slavering lust?
It's the taste of the future!
(Oh nurse, where's the suture?
I'm excited fit to bust!)

But alas and alack,
As my soul slips back
To reality, here and now,
My bank balance weeps,
Enthusiasm seeps
From my hot, desirous brow.

For as much as I leer
And furtively peer
At the screenshots of Heaven I see,
I wonder if I'll ever be able to afford
A shiny new PS3...
