The Blogger

A week ago Tuesday:
a dire event.
I just could not post
to my blog
what I meant.

After hours of work,
the answer I gleaned:
My Ethernet turned
to an Ornet, it seemed.

How this could happen
I still do not know
but I knew where the fix was
and where I must go.

So I packed up my gear --
all my keyboards and mice --
And drove to the networking
guy for advice.

He analyzed deeply
then told me his guess
about what had happened
to cause this whole mess.

Deep down in the chips
of my wireless router
a bit had inverted;
it now was a doubter.

So what I uploaded
my firmware denied
turning "yes" into "no"
and "applaud" to "decried".

But downloads were altered
the same way, you see,
So the sites that I read
were inverted to me.

And that was okay;
things had come out all right --
though my screen displays colors,
my mind's black and white.

Inseussiance

Now you don't,
But once you did
Can you again?
Go try it, kid.

Your sisters said
"Go on, you should,"
Could you like to?
Yes, you would.

No time to worry,
Nor to sigh,
Get up now
and try, try try.

Twitter Seuss

If Seuss were wired, would he tweet?
Could he, should he, as a treat?
If he tweeted we would see
and maybe he would follow me.
