Once upon a midnight dreary,
while I pondered weak and weary,
over many a quaint and curious web sites of internet galore,
while I waited, nearly waiting, suddenly there came a email
the text of some email in my email door,
"'tis some friend," I muttered, "emailing me, oh whats in store?"
only this and nothing more...
Open it I hit get mail, when, with many a flash and flutter,
Thrilled me, is there a message from many days of yore?
Scared he lost me; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But with a wince, his answer lil meaning, "I was really bored."
"I write this email now, cuz I am bored;
Quote the sender "I am bored."
This I sat engaged in guessing but no syllable expressing
to the man whose words so fiery; burned into my hearts core;
this and more I sat divining, with my wrist at ease reclining
on my jelly supporter replying, so I can type a response back like before
but what to say? cuz he was bored, think of something like before
quote the sender, like before.
Presently my words grew stronger; hesitating then no longer;
Then methought of what to say, quit this email foolishness and go away!!!
Nothing further I then muttered? not a word made me flutter
Oh what have I done, if I cause him such pain, He'll probably cry a thunderous rain;
Oh the morrow he will write me, until then I feel so drained
Quote the sender "I feel so drained."
And now I check it, never flinching still i'm sitting, still i'm sitting
Sir, said I, I was wrong to say that, forgive me I implore;
I miss his words with such great meaning, only when I read it dreaming,
And so I sit and waiting more, no reply in my email door
I made him mad, so no reply in my email door.
I will get no email from him..
NEVERMORE.
