A *hiccup* Sonnet

Booze is there to make it bearable,
Liquor’s there to dull the pain quicker.
So here’s a drink to shoo the angels away.
And here’s a drink to give the demons their play.

Let this one be for all my friends –
Who guide the hand of this beer-brained-dozer, […]

A *hiccup* Sonnet

Booze is there to make it bearable,
Liquor’s there to dull the pain quicker.
So here’s a drink to shoo the angels away.
And here’s a drink to give the demons their play.

Let this one be for all my friends –
Who guide the hand of this beer-brained-dozer,
And let this one be for all my family –
Who bear the crash of this rum-filled-saucer.

…And let the rest be for me…
…The more deservin’ of the three!
Because each drink is part of my down-payment,
For the part of life I’ll folly to call my rent.
…
So, there’s a drink for every affliction –
But what is there for this drunk’s deflection?

This isn’t really a sonnet…but… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Here ya go anyway. It’s a drunk sonnet.

please delete

dear deity, i want to format: myself,
and reinstall a more stable and secure OS,
one that might not be compatible right off the shelf,
but with a bit of work, it will save me a load of BS.

really, i don’t mind if you click select-all and press delete,
most of those files are corrupt, the rest are wearing thin, [..]

Please Delete
(a new year sonnet)

dear deity, i want to format: myself,
and reinstall a more stable and secure OS,
one that might not be compatible right off the shelf,
but with a bit of work, it will save me a load of BS.

really, i don’t mind if you click select-all and press delete,
most of those files are corrupt, the rest are wearing thin,
and anything resembling unique remains vastly incomplete,
so do me a large favor: don’t forget to empty the recycle bin.

and with regards to an OS, anything different will suffice,
anything different must run better than this,
so fare thee well blue screen of death, goodbye error: device,
say hello to anything with a better guarantee than ‘hit or miss’.

                                 then: freshly formatted and reinstalled, i will compute to win,
                                 until a few years pass, and i will wish to be formatted again.

Hyperbole Owns All.
(The Greatest Sonnet Ever!) 

America’s the biggest fan of hyperbole
Because there’s no greater figure of speech
or greater poetic device for today’s poetry,
that mirrors the rhetoric of those that preach.

Hyperbole can solve all the world’s woes
better than any sort of euphemisms,
Hyperbole will rock you from your head to your toes,
by being that ism to end all isms.

So listen up and listen well,
Hyperbole can and will save us all from destruction
With the gilded promise of a solid sell
Hyperbole can and will obliterate any form of obstruction. 

Until you stop, and you think, and you look it up in the dictionary,
and there you discovery that hyperbole is really quite silly.

OMG, A SONNET? WTF! 


lookat me, the 21st century man,
I can LOL @ your e-mail,
and RE: as fast as my Ethernet can
let me – sign off w/ a TTYL.

lookat me, TXT’ing while driving,
IM’ing a pic I shot with my razor,
of some dumb schmuck trying
to save the world in his favor.

lookat me, at my geektastic supreme,
fragging n00bs in my sleep,
where I’m all FTW in this virtual dream,
and I’m striving to be teh uber l33t.

lookat me, the 21st century snob,
looking for the meaning of life on somebody else’s blog.
