News: Teleportation Was Achieved Over The Internet for the First Time
yea for science
but I just want earl gray
hot*
*Captain Picard, Star Trek: The Next Generation
A tradition of the holidays
no need to take a survey;
John McClane firing
Hans Gruber falling
just reply with Yippee ki yay.
The lockdown is a knock down.
We can all run back out there!
So we are dancing in the streets.
I drive to town to dance with people.
Yay, for the Covid heroes!
I yell it too, only more loudly.
This strange person I do not know glares at me.
My first instinct is to stick out my tongue.
Really mature my inner voice chides me.
Yay, for the Covid heroes!
Now I get it. It is annoying to be mimicked.
This yell from my least favorite neighbor.
She gallops over to see what I am about.
Going to the store, I tell her. Better be off.
Yay, for the Covid heroes!
I agree they should be revered and honored.
Cherished and lifted onto pedestals.
I have the utmost respect for what they have done.
But it is driving me insane that we are all yelling the same five words.
Yay, for the Covid heroes!
There was a black beetle named May
Who lived with a frog in some hay
Together they would roam
Adventures far from home
Singing yippe-Ki-yay all day
the words that come out, sting like a bee. the thoughts in my head, they're all about me. i'm on top of the world, better than you. you're a piece of ****, i wiped off my shoe. twenty minutes fly by and what do i find? a whole lot of people speaking their mind. i could ruin a lifetime of friendships in just one night. endless horror and dread or simple delight? no way i knew i'd **** up this bad. look at all that went to ****, all i could have had.
