My inbox overflows..

How does my inbox fill up so fast

Has a spell on my e-mail account been cast

Such that e-mails mushroom out of nowhere

Leaving in my inbox (not just in the junk folder) no space spare

The one useful e-mail I need to see

Gets buried in the avalanche, or deleted accidentally..

*

Each time at my bloated inbox I stare

I vow to not give out my e-mail address everywhere

And reserve it only for selected sites

Such that useless e-mail does not occupy megabytes

I doubt my e-mail address I recklessly disseminate

But there are sites where my address self-populates

*

Sometimes I wonder if my evident inability

To manage my inbox reflects poorly on me

I wonder if my inbox with 10000 e-mails represents

The online version of hoarding to some extent

Does my jnbox say I am disorganized

Maybe the problem is worse than I previously realized

*

I make a resolve to weed unnecessary e-mails out everyday

So that they don’t clutter my inbox and my mind in any way

But the inbox seems to swell up so fast

What spell on my e-mail has the world wide web cast?
