The Button
A/N: This rhyme is from "The Rhyme Game" on Sledgeweb's Lost…Stuff. I was one of many people who contributed to this poem. I believed it worthy of LOST is not mine, and neither is the majority of this poem. It is the collective work of the members of SWLS. Edited by myself.

The ocean is all I saw
For air I started to claw
Then I panicked and cried for Ma
My hand closed on a dog's paw
The dog saved me with his mighty jaw
And swam me back to the shore
Where I was asked to take a tour
He lead me to a strange hatch door
He asked me "Do snowmen snore?"
I was amazed to hear a dog talk
Toward the sound I started to walk
Above my head there flew a large hawk
Which dropped on my head a corn stalk
It screeched my name as it flew by
A horrid sound like a banshee's cry
The hatch door I could finally pry
As thick black smoke covered the sky
Inside the hatch I met a man
He told me he had a plan
"Save the World," he said then ran
And left me with a film in my hand
I watched the film, it was surreal
I saw it again after my meal
It said to push a button, what's the deal?
At that moment an alarm began to squeal
So at the computer I entered them in
A clanking sound and the dial did spin
4, 8, and 15, but not ten
16 23 42...the room quiet again
Day after day, year after year
With nothing to drink but stale DHARMA beer
Pushing a button out of nothing but fear
Waiting for my replacement to appear
The End.
