got verse?: December 1990
http://gotverse.blogspot.com/1990_12_01_archive.html
Just a place for poetry. Tuesday, December 25, 1990. In the beginning, Jehovah created. Our earth, then man, the Bible stated. All was peaceful and perfectly serene,. Then man decided to create the Machine. Now the machine is the ugliest of all the beasts. It came and disrupted the beautiful peace. To help and assist the imperfect man.". At least, so was the original plan. Yet unlike the perfect creations of God,. Man's devices were crude and rather roughshod. Were for the slackened hand and lazy mind.

Just a place for poetry. Friday, April 13, 2001. My 21st Century Wife. At 21 I married her. My 21st Century wife. I didn't know, what I know now. In my married life. There is a difference" said my spouse,. From a 21st Century wife,. And all the wives that came before. To ease their husband's strife.". She told me this at lunch one day. My very knowledgeable wife. While handing me unbuttered toast. And then a butter knife. She talked of all those lazy men. My 21st Century wife. And subsist on TV life.".

got verse?: February 2002

Just a place for poetry. Sunday, February 10, 2002. We went away to Tahoe. We went away to Tahoe,. My wife and son and I. To meet the Dillers and Mewetts. And Dolans by and by. For the Dolans came one day late. At 11:00, I think,. Rested from a full night's sleep,. But Iris caught just a wink. For the night before she fussed and stewed. About the cold damp house. And so I went to gather wood. Accompanied by her spouse. I've started many fires before. But not with Walter's wife. With skiing in the sun.

Just a place for poetry. Friday, January 01, 1999. Once upon a midnight dreary. Once upon a midnight dreary,. Fingers cramped and vision bleary,. System manuals piled high,. And wasted paper on the floor,. Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,. Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets,. Having reached the bottom line,. I took a floppy from the drawer. Typing with a steady hand,. I then invoked the SAVE command,. And waited for the disk to store,. Only this and nothing more. Deep into the monitor peering,.
