Oh dear!
I could have sworn
that I saw Clive
had posted double!

What will folks think?!
The shame!
The scorn!
I'm in a heap of trouble!

[Carol Taylor]

T'was not your double vision, Poo--
Clive's post was duplicated,
but Mother Techie with her broom
deftly eliminated
the scattered useless residue,
as other moms are wont to do,
when children leave a messy room;
in fact: administrated.

Well, said, O Clive, but you neglect to mention:
Though techie hotlines seem of little use,
There's nothing hotter, if you like abuse--
So say the connoisseurs of condescension.

[Clive]

That's very true,
Chris W,
I've heard that if you're keen
on SM hell
phone AOL
for help with your machine.

and what's this - posting double - me?
how could such things such things things be
me - posting double? what's this? me
me posting double - such things be?

[Roger Slater]

I think that someone should combine
a tech and suicide hotline.
That way folks who give support
and blithely say, "Abort! Abort!"
could quickly add before you do't,
"I meant to say, 'Reboot! Reboot!'"

[Pua Sandabar]

"Reboot" you say?
Okay, I will.
Though I just took
the damn things off!

(...and I'll gather up my whips and chains
before he has a chance to scoff)

Pua, when I said "reboot,"
I did not mean galoshes.
Nor did I mean you to impute
I asked for chains or lashes.

I told you that I'm partial for
the gentle, nay, the lamb-like.
I don't like things that make me sore.
In truth, that's what I am like.

<h4>“What comes first...?”</h4>
Oh, it is the chicken that comes first,
Before the egging (the laying on of worst

Impressions ill-rehearsed
And quickly versed

But highly stressed)—
When bowels burst,

It cackles, cackles, having forced
A motherload of wit—

Through clenching muscles,
Sprayed corpuscles

Of shit-
Heads will roll

Rather droll
Down textured shells

Once white,
Now sluiced

By ne'er-do-wells'
“Holy writ.”

Oh, it is the egg—those golden eggs!—
That makes a chicken

Hawk the wares between its legs
Unawares: moonstricken

By the lump
Under its rump,

It crows around the clock—
Even though the hen-house begs

For peace, it crows around the clock—
Of stretching sphincters

And golden ventures—
But doesn't know that it's a cock.

Which came first - the chicken or the egg?
The answer can be found in Darwin's theories.
Since fish preceded hens by several eons,
the egg came first. Now - any other queries?

[bear_music]

There once was a passionate maid
whose morals had so far decayed
that she tickled a rooster
until he seduced her
and staggered away with an egg
