Lament for slow posters!

Lament of Slow Posters


The internet’s most slogging depths
Can be a mire and maze to walk
But how long can it really take
For you to make your keyboard talk?
Were you…

CHORUS:
Eaten by Akatosh, swallowed by Smaug,
Chewed by a harpy and fed to the dog,
Sung by a Siren to depths dark and dank
And thrown to the Bog of Eternalish Stank,
Reduced to bad rhymes and baked into a pie,
To be recalled by no more than the stars in the sky?

Count five, then ten, then count again
In minutes ticking by and by
One has one’s hobbies in between
While waiting for your “swift” reply.
I wonder, were you…

CHORUS

So while your queen was pondering on
An introduction to the throne,
I learned organic knitting:
Tendons wrapped around rib bones.
Maybe you were…

CHORUS

And while the world was turning on
Anticipating your next move,
I taught my cat to dance the disco.
Four feet catch the groove!
Did you get…

CHORUS

But cats tire quickly, and while he
Grew bored and in his corner curled,
You hadn’t said a word to me,
So I took over all the world
And my first tyrant’s grand decree
Is that all posters on the net
Distracted or untimely gone
Shall have their puppets…

CHORUS:
Eaten by Akatosh, swallowed by Smaug,
Chewed by a harpy and fed to the dog,
Sung by a Siren to depths dark and dank
And thrown to the Bog of Eternalish Stank,
Reduced to bad rhymes and baked into a pie,
And remembered by only the stars in the sky!
