The Principal and His CableThe grumpy principal athwart the class
is walloping the learner ad infinitum
with his computer cable,
and screeching his lungs out
his wrath and his tranquilities;
he says she’s late for school yet again.
Madly she pulls across the desks;
pleads for pity in pigsty floors,
whilst he despite his heavy paunch
chases and...

CableI swear I'm stable. The rope is my agony.
I'll just walk this cable as my feet start to bleed.
This isn't fable. The end is not destiny.
I'll just fall off this cable for nothing is left of me.
I stand in the middle and stare at the...

The Cable GuyThe cable guy showed up at 5
And what was most surprising
Was not that he arrived on time
With no one compromising,
But rather that he did his job
And fixed what wasn’t working
(Although I won’t be shocked
If other problems might be lurking).
So far, so good. With fingers...

The Cable GuyI’m waiting for the elusive cable guy.
His window is 1-5… I wonder when he will finally drop by.
I don’t know if he is worth makeup and frills,
But who knows, maybe it will help my bill.
The last time he came there was no charge.
I hope he...

To Much Cable TvTo much cable tv
I think the house is haunted.
I hear things in the night.
The landing gives out creaks.
Enough to give me frights.
There"s something in the attic.
Coldness in the rooms.
I"m sure there"s witches out there.
Who fly past on there...

Cable CrisisI'm feeling mentally unstable
Apparently I just lost my cable
Television done gone on the fritz
Gonna' miss my Monday Night blitz
Telephone dead as a doornail
Can't check my freekin' email!
This service ain't nothin' but trash!
Guess I'll go to the bar and get smashed
What's this? It's back on? How...

London Town: North Greenwich
just dots upon
the greenwich sky
swinging london
from the air
with eyes wide shut
and riding high
across the thames
'where tourists dare'....
