With the end of the cable
you hit me.
younger me:,, Do it!"
One Hit, on my head, didn't hurt much.
Another on my back, my pullover protected.
I Held my hand over my face.
Bad choice.
The metal cut my hand like knife.
It still hurts, while I write.
,, I want to you explain!"
,, why you discuss with me"
Why do you Tell me how I should deal

Wanted Files
Soon, you will be avoided,
If those things aren't provided;
A strong Union divided
And things cease to be guided...
You had kept back wanted files,
As The Mistrusting went miles
To have them placed on table;
Your matter flashed on cable:
"Max has something had to hide,
Us all taking for a ride!"
You'd be lucky if you won,
All of them sure you shall

Careless Abel Was Not Able
At first, it was like a fable
That a strung-up cable
Would be perfectly able
To remain stable
As far as a far-off table
But this, magically, did
The openness of a pot without lid …
And The Doubting his shame hid,
Still Abel’s companion did him bid
Not to walk away like a kid
For having walked into rules gamblers heed
First surrendering

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'.

Fodder Cable Cars Are Jousting With Clams Today
If you are going to attempt a waltz in a spotty teapot costume complete with a lid then do remember not to partake in tea drinking beforehand because the liquid might ruin the material and thus render the authenticity of the costume. People then would not quite believe that the waltz was going to be

The Cable Guy
I’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 doesn’t make up for it with a fee that is

The Principal and His Cable
The 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 corners her.
He whips and whips the weeping non-plussed
girl till the

The Cable Guy
The 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 crossed,
I’m watching my TV.
The cable guy was nice, but still
There

Cable Conflict
When I was young, on our TV,
The channels numbered seven:
2, 4, 5 and 7, 9, 13
And, oh, 11.
The picture was in black and white,
Past midnight, we saw snow;
But no one ever did complain –
For what else did we know?
Of course, we watched our shows for free
‘Til cable came along;
And paying for what once was

Cable Crisis
I'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 'bout that?
Guess I won't need this baseball bat...

The Tv Cable Bill Goes Up
The TV Cable Bill Goes Up Again
By Elton Camp
When towns allow creation of a monopoly,
Its prices will always rise, just wait and see
Television cable companies are a good example
They have a cost that, for service, is fully ample
But they continually are looking for some ruse
An ever-escalating monthly charge to excuse
We can’t pay only for the
