Pays Hunch
tiz the old fashioned way of composing
with paper and comfortable pen
longhanded words writ with feeling
as old fashioned habits kick in
I'd like to be on my computer
Alas an impossible place
Some hacker has rendered it useless
A jerk I can't see face to face
There'll come time that it really won't matter
as new situations arise
the fabric of memory will tatter
like forgotten political lies
But back in the day when my temper held sway
I'd be toasting his early demise
By finding a technical way
of whacking a hacker in play
So I'll sit back and wait
for sweet lady Fate
To waltz on his grave in delight
it's sweet consolation
that knowing sensation
his indiscrimination
will step on a nerd redneck's feet
who will take up the cause
to make him hit pause
then control alternate and delete
