I whizzed past the assembler, add
count in octal, subtract
hexadecimal. Found error
in the dump file, all zeroes
and wondered, is this an omen?
Surprise! write me an algorithm
for a full third of test score.
Sort all data in a file
swap and exchange,
compare and relate.
Loop through the right number
and oh, woe for me, I get a C plus.
The highest in the class,
all doomed to retake the section
except me, who passes.
But the A and B slip away
because I never set my counters,
important counters full of junk
all back to zero. Zero the clean
state of all beginnings.
Programmers learn by trial
and error, one pass,
one dump and oh, yeah,
zero out the counters
Or face certain demise.
Would one day, grand,
Grand to grand child say;
In my dream,
Had wings on my back;
Flew over wavy,
Jhir-mir, Jhir-mir
Dancing lakes;
Wetting sky by tiny vapours;
Then flew over to gigantic,
The erect mount;
Snake shape founts,
Crawling to make space,
For its flow to join the lake;
Full of scented plants and trees,
Soldier mount securing plain land,
Without the blink of eyes;
Then flew over the dense
Murky clouds;
Luxuriously watching,
Negative, positive sides,
Falling in romance,
Blend together to electric wave;
Emotions drop by drop
Fall on land filling the lakes;
Forest reign by twittering birds,
Roaring animals;
Are no more real,
They come in dream
Once a while;
Thanks to grand,
Grand to grand pa, mama;
Thou gave us life,
To survive in developed world,
Life is computer, memory chip,
Electronic devices are for fun;
Transformed from natural life,
To modern life;

What's a dollar worth?
Well years ago it was worth a dollar.
Now it's worth a lot closer to two cents than a dollar.
The reason....www....can't be put any planner...
More and more people go on line www daily...
The old cheer 2 bits 4 bits 6 bits a $
All for (state your team) stand up and holler...
Well..that's about gone
8 bits=$1
This was years ago...
Now 8 bits = 1 byte...2 widows mites...2pennies...
Here's some binary metrics for you ...the future worth of a dollar (sic) next to computer memory
2^^3[1(2^^10-10))] or 8 bits = 1 byte or 1PENNY
2^^3[1(2^^10-0)] or 8192 Bytes = 1 dollar , 1dollar = 8192 Bytes
2^^3[1(2^^10+10)] or 8388608 bytes = 10 dollars
10 dollars = 8388608 bytes
It's far beyond 2 dollars = a penny , 3 dollars = a penny etc...
My sister in gold coast New south Wales oz, said dear brother
It's only gonna get worse before I re it gets better.
I think this is what she meant
I was going to write a poem
And nothing came to mind
So I started scanning the computer
To see what I could find
But it didn't seem right really
Not composing like I usually do
It felt like I was cheating
Somthing I'd never do
Well I gave it a go
Writing juices did flow
Was really pleased and then
My computer froze and died
So I'd lost it all again
So I lost my poem
And try as I might
Couldn't remember
All I did write
So yet again
I search in vain
My mind gone blank
It's such a pain
So deciding to gig
one of my poems about
Change spring
into autumn
That sort of thing
Well I think I've succeded
The next poem I write
Maybe you will all tell me
If it turned out alright.?
