Pays Hunch

Pays Hunch

A Poem by Donald Meikle

tiz the old fashioned way of composing
with paper and comfortable pen
longhanded words writ with feeling
as old fashioned habits kick in
I'd like to be on my computer
Alas an impossible place
Some hacker has rendered it useless
A jerk I can't see face to face

There'll come time that it really won't matter
as new situations arise
the fabric of memory will tatter
like forgotten political lies
But back in the day when my temper held sway
I'd be toasting his early demise
By finding a technical way
of whacking a hacker in play

So I'll sit back and wait
for sweet lady Fate
To waltz on his grave in delight
it's sweet consolation
that knowing sensation
his indiscrimination
will step on a nerd redneck's feet
who will take up the cause
to make him hit pause
then control alternate and delete

Ha! You tell 'im Donald! I always write everything long hand first though. It was a trick I picked up from Amber (Angelheaded Hipster) and it serves me well. I now have dozens of notebooks fill with one liners or whole stories that I take snippets from to create new. When I put it to the computer it is like I am giving these inner thoughts to my friends and they expand or decrease... but whichever way it is, they grow.

I like this here "will step on a nerd redneck's feet
who will take up the cause
to make him hit pause
then control alternate and delete" These lines here love it cute write and well written.
