Her Pets, from Russian, Igor Severyanin
She's winter birds a'feeding, out a windowpane,
Cheerfully a'breeding, laughing and serene.
Off to school a'going
Pets amidst the snowing
Crowding, noisy, knowing
She's skyward with them flying!
THE POET AS SCIENTIST, THE POET AS SCIENTIST
The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]
Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".
