So What's It Gonna Be

So what's it gonna be
Mr. Lappity Q. Top
Will you behave
As yes you should
By being good
And keeping connected
However weakly yes
To the wifi here

 Or will you up and quit
Like suddenly blocked
When once again
I did not do
A single damn thing
To ever cause
Such a poor reaction
That takes me out of the action 

 And pisses me off
It goes without saying
But there I said it yes
Like what the fuck 
Dear Lappity
Must you bedevil me
With these stupid quits
Though yes to be fair
I have to accept the blame
For the weekend fail
That one's on me alas

But yesterday no
That's on you
You stupid jerk
It was such an irk
Losing as I did
My goodly connection
Like I had a direction
And still got lost

 Though yes you are
Behaving today
I refuse to say
That we're all good
Because it's understood
That you could be gone again
Yes just like that
As I snap my fingers
And the anger lingers
In spite of your doing
As you should 
And keeping weak
What is strong at home

 So what's it gonna be
Mr Lappity Q. Top
A name that I like
Much but more
Than the first I gave to you
Is this the way
That you will act
Giving me what I ask
For what little time
I ask of it
Or you'll do as yesterday
And give up the ghost
When you're needed most

 I fear you'll keep your answer
To your own damn self
Sometimes being 
The goodly top
As you're being now
And others well
Just not so much

 And such a joy that is
I jump to my feet
Whoot and holler loud
Not yet cowed
But at your mercy
Until I learn the steps 
I'll need to take
When next you take a break
And leave me off the line

 Dear Lappity
Must you bedevil me
I suppose you must
For you are technology
And technology loves
To play its games
And laugh like a jerk
At my woeful state
Of knowing how
Well knowing at all
How you work
Other than to do
The simplest of things

 So let me say it thus
Work but more
Than you do not
And I will take it yes
Because when you work
You work like a charm
And that's a win to me

Das Hier #50

Good morning humans. I hate the gravity of your world because it is hard on my back and my back has had enough of it and as a result, I woke up with a pain that that I cannot stand, so I am writing to you from the comfort of my bed. Though being true, because of the pain, there is no comfort but the comfort of escaping awareness through sleep. Hopefully I will find my way to sleep tonight because right now, it feels as though I will not. And you would be sure to read about it here if that was the case if not for one thing, I'm going to be stepping away from the blogging for the coming weeks. At the very least. It could be longer, but it will certainly be for at least three weeks. I know that I won't be missed too much as my small number of readers can attest to. What's going to happen with this blog? Drawings will be posted most days, but I have been in talks with a couple of writers, one alien and one human. Let me know in the comments which writer you...

Das Hier #35

It is painfully clear to me that I have been away from the words for far too long as I got caught up in the memoriams of humans that have made the pictures that they so love. I don't get their appreciation of these stories, because I find them too long and they often like to make followups. And to that idea I shake my head. Maybe it's odd that I think this as a writer, but it is how I feel. I don't even remember what I was going to write. Was I going to slam Dalton for calling me a quitter if I withdrew from the collective? He certainly deserves it, not that I hate him, but he was certainly an ass when he was dissing me for wanting the collective to succeed. But that was more than a half hour ago and that was too long for me to hold onto the thought that I had then. So I begin again.  Thoad stared in the sky, his mouth agape as the speed trail left behind by Merithee, remained vivid when she'd passed by more than five mi...

Wow, how is it so much brighter here than it was when I took the photo, with the lights or flash? Ugh. The science of nature am I right? I like this drawing a lot. Well, I'm not crazy about the pencil's beak, but apart from that, he's a good pencil and I will continue to draw them. Ideally with more colour choices  than the four that I currently have. But for now, however long now lasts, four will have to do. Spleck II will graduate past the black paper so that I have more choices. As for the little guy with his very own flag, he's a Pobadyd and all good Pobadyds have their own flags. Luckily for Poeth, there are many ways for a Pobaddyd to earn themselves a flag becuase there's really only one thing that Poeth is good at, since he's so small and easily beaten in all the physical ways that a Pobadyd can earn their flag. He's a brilliant public speaker and he saved a Pobadyd village with the finest oration...
