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".

They

A gentle kiss, Scarcely a caress But so very familiar So caringly, lovingly similar To his long lost child Who died. So, knowing the shaded forms were his That it was his fate To nurture this lost essence Only visible in fleeting shadows of death He fled Fearful for sanity, and madness. But, is not the conquest of the impossible, The recreation of the unlivable The only viable means of conquering The human condition? Based on Rudyard Kipling's short story "They" (1904).
