Editing sound files,
I hear a ding through these ear buds
And my heart leaps, so I
Click on the Outlook Inbox, but it's just
Another alert about rabies in foxes,
Raccoons and bats in Pennsylvania,
Kentucky and Maryland, or Crimean-Congo
Hemorrhagic fever in the Turkish provinces of
Tokat and Yozgat, where bloody death is the
Natural finale to tick bites. Leaves me
Unsympathetically disappointed and cold, cos
All I need's to hear one
Peep outta you.
Back to Audacity waveforms.

That photo is pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm always kind of sad too, when the computer alerts me, and it's just another spam e-mail.
depends on how zesty is the message you're hoping or preferring to receive. 'resounding, clarion ding' is, i guess, fairly revealatory about the flavor of spam i favor.
ReplyDeleteEarbuds? Hmm.
ReplyDeleteI love the ending, though.
It does kind of make me fear for my brother, actually, cos he's off to PA in August for college... out in the country, too, so he'll have plenty of bats, etc. He can probably fight them off, I suppose. Or something. (Maybe he needs this spam.)
just wrote it as it was, c, cos my daughter was asleep in the next room and i didn't want to wake her.
