Very Little Experience
Hey!
I See A Bee!
A Bee Named Dee-Dee.
How Do I Know
That's It’s Name?
Because A Name
Is A Short-Cut
To Identify A
Specific Entity
Randomly Or
Collectively
Established
By Absolute
Choice.
A Bee? See Dee-Dee.
I Did See It Later,
On Cooling T's
I Was Hanging Out
To Dry, Because
It’s Fun, Today
Anyway.
I’m Sure It Was It.
Because It Needed
To Ruin My Whole
Idea About How
We Often Casually
Personally Name
Something We'll
Never Ever See Again.
So Much For A Name
Being A Useful General
Identifier, If It’s Never
Seen Again.
And I Love Dee-Dee
Because I’m So
Easily Amused.
Glad To See You, Again,
Hon!
I Don’t Know Why I
Wanted To Write This,
I Usually Think I Know.
Something Very Serious
Is Begging For Your Attention
BEGGING! BEGGGGGING!
Very Important To Responsibly
React To Important News
That Effects Whatever
You Are Serious About…
It’s Got Your Attention Now.
Figure It Out.

The opportunity sparked a fierce desire
A cunning liar is trying to conspire
Plotting schemes that would require
Causing the masses tears to flood the mire
The choir sang with voices higher
Looking for a bold lady or noble squire
Capable of mending our old attire
Bake these words in an air fryer
The hissing revealed a situation growing dire
Look a devious flyer is soaring above the spire
Falsely proclaiming tales to inspire
Hiding in the quagmire as an actual occupier
Their words thickening the air like a humidifier
The supplier is attempting rewire
All of us who dare to still inquire
An amplifier’s hum drew the self-proclaimed sire
Who foolishly gazed at stars with his heart’s desire
Each promise made proved to be a modifier
The identifier called it out as a testifier
Through it all the proclamations became slier
We need to rise above the snake oil salesmen’s ire
Buckle up and find the strength not to retire
Find the heart to not back down or tire
Ants on a trail, saunder along
constantly move, chemicals guide
Cars upon roads, *SRID guides them
men's highways, signs, signal shows way
No ant pile-ups, no injuries
God guides with skill, no false trails, steps
*Initials for :Spatial Reference System Identifier
