Annoise

I dislike noise that hits my ears
producing in my head a pain --
but worse than that are words of fear;
noise aimed straight into my brain.

can have an effect conversationally.
The point that you're making, the question, the plea,
will be less persuasive put violently.

Terabyte Drive

Puny gigs are not enough
for all my documents and stuff.
My terabyte will last -- it should!
