At my local Radio Shack, I bought my PC
Went back home, popped some acid, fell asleep
In the morning I arose and unpacked it
God darn nearly had a hissy fit
Discovered my computer had grown teeth

Well I'm a bit of a goodie-goodie since I've never taken illegal drugs, but I still found this funny. My only critique is that the meter's a bit off.

Now that's an image for you
-
I was just kidding... you're free to use any of my backgrounds that you want. Go ahead.

Sahdes of Gray, just going through my poetry and read the short comment in Owner of a New PC and you said the bg was yours...would you like to me take it off and use another one, I won't mind...I have lots downloaded from the Background sites and I won't use it again if you wish. Just let me know. I don't remember where I got it from it was sitting in my files for a long time, and sorry about invading on your backgrounds but you can use any of mine you wish or are interested in except the one on \Listen While She Sews, it belongs to my community organization I work for, that's the only one off limits unless you write something about the organization then you can use it.
-
Yeah... the background's mine.
-
I've seen that background before...somewhere...hahaha a computer with teeth...another thing a computer doesn't need (if you were at a store and on acid, and you said the computer had teeth...would they charge you extra???) anyway very nice poem...but I also think it's interesting that you were talking about acid, yet you used darn...but like you said it's almost a cliche
stupid little rock is telling lies again,

Very cute, heh. I want my PC to grow teeth, but I don't want to take acid for that to happen,lol.

I choose 'popped acid' because only someone on acid would claim his/her computer grew teeth, it should be 'hissy', when I went through the spell check on this site, they didn't have it and gave me 'hussy' instead, but now changed it back because hussy is not the word I wanted...and as for God darn it, it is an expression I prefer more than the 'extreme reverence' that is so overused today it has became a cliché itself and it fits more into the style of a limerick that the real swearing phrase would, and I didn't want to go that far because then I would have to put it under adult and this is too cute for being an adult poem.
Edited on May 05 because ''. -
Interesting piece. Did you mean to write 'hussy' fit and not 'hissy'?
It was a little bit too segmented for my tastes, but it had it's own flow and style.
I am very interested in how you chose to talk about popping acid, but you used the user friendly word darn. I'm impressed that you choose not to even approach swearing in today's world... or perhaps you have an extreme reverence for God that causes you to use darn... in either case, I give you props for your morals.

Hahaha...what a trip! Thankfully, my pcs have never grown teeth - love the graphic and background, not to mention the poem!!!
-
This is soooooo, funny. Personally I would have recomended Apples, best computers out there (this is from a loyal apple user who personally hates PC's with a passion). So I understand completly the poem and where you are coming from though ocassional teeth do appear on my fruit, it usually disapear into the hard drive to wait for my next paper to be due. Great write, keep it up, thanks for sharing.
