The Hour Glass Spins.....

Once again my body is rigid
waiting for software to load and run.
I sit at this desk visibly aging
watching a spinning timer have fun.
Why must these waits be so wasteful?
and another question begs,
if it span for four minutes exactly
I could have sat here and boiled eggs.

The Hour Glass Spins.....

Once again my body is rigid

I sit at this desk visibly aging
watching a spinning timer have fun.
Why must these waits be so wasteful?
and another question begs,

A few things immediately spring to mind with this poem Dave.

1)

• How come you have a pc if you live in 19th Century Worchester? Is this yet another example of my belief that you English are technologically more advanced than us poor Irish? We've only got broadband. Sounds like you guys have broken the Space/Time Continuum and are now visiting other planets.
  
  Jammy feckers..!
  
  Giz a go..!

2)

• Since you're clearly a time-travelling writer from another dimension, I shouldn't think you worry much about waits being wasteful. You can always go back and re-live them at your convenience. There's no justice...

3)

• Not only boiled eggs Dave. You could have peeled their shells off, sliced them and scoffed the feckin lot with toast and a mug of tea...
  
  I'm writing to my MP..!

Dear Mr. McGuiness,

I have discovered the English are time-travelling, boiled egg munching computer users. I also suspect they visit other worlds and openly gloat about their ability to watch spinning things have fun. A comedy poet on our gas-powered forum; Sensitize has only today admitted, in a poem, that he waits and counts wastefuls (whatever they are).

Will you please bring this up at Westminster and ask Tony Blair if there's any truth to it. I'm sure you too would have clear issues with time-travellers who eat boiled eggs without toast. Frightful carry on...

Concerned.

Derry...

Do you have any idea how much copper went in to this difference engine? I can get broadband speeds but it knackers the pony. I'm waiting for Slightly to knock me up a copy of the Feckers poteen still which can run on the local rough cider.

Travelling back in time? How else can I see my beloved Leeds United at the top of the League?

Don't forget the marmite.....

Maybe if you took those roller skates off it things might improve. Just a thought like...

Lemmi get this straight Dave. You're saying Slightly's been copying; The Crafty Fecker's poteen? I hope to Christ he's wearing asbestos gloves and protective googles... There's napalm, Toilet Duck, leprechaun's toenail clippings and a copy of the Qaran in there...

I'll not even dare respond to this one, but let other members of Sensitize give their opinions of that memorable day ...

Don't forget the marmite.....

Oh yer. The Marmite... God yeah, the Marmite ... If you've been following the adventures Danimik's been having with marmites, you wouldn't be so keen to tell everyone about this Dave. Apparently he's seen them crawling out of his books. This doesn't make sense because none of them read ... Terrible. Just terrible... They should be shot, stuffed and mounted in no particular order...

Like they would have voted for a Mr McWatneys-Red-Barrel...... It's all in the name.

Aye. No arguments there mate...
