thank you, noword.

Here's a new poem:

Tragic Corn Cake

Last time I talked to you
I think we were in a training room together

for a conference

I told you I would save you one of my corn cakes (like rice cakes, but better)

I think I had peanut butter on it.

And then during the conference I was day dreaming and ate the last one by accident.

Then the conference was over, and it was time to give you the cake,

but I didn't have any more, just crumbs on my shirt.

And I felt bad, I really wanted you to try it.

That might have been the last time I had corn cakes.

The student approached the master hesitantly and asked:

Master, is there always a technological solution that can help humanity when it encounters a problem?

The master replied serenely:

There is indeed a solution to every problem.... except for the the very last problem: the implosion of the universe, the big crunch. It will be difficult to escape that if the day comes, likely impossible. This body of mine will be long gone before then, but I might have a descendant. I imagine him looking a bit nervously out the window of his spacecraft to see how much more time he has. If I were him, I would be shooting just one last set of bad guys, striving for an all time high score in a final game of Galaga.

Galaga is indeed a classic videogame that has seen many incarnations.

The Strain of Sweetness

What I've discovered is that it's hard
to take the lolipop out of your mouth
before you condemn the whole candy factory.

Bringers of Salvation

Jesus walked on water.
George Michael walks on sunshine.
What I've learned, after careful meditation,
is that each bringer of salvation
rolls in his own unique way.

Reckless Judgements

Don't judge a toaster
on it's inability to flatter you for the things nobody else notices.

It's there just to make toast.

Ancient Beginnings

Before the Monkey..
there was the squirrel.

Respect your ancient heritage.
