Fraggle Rockin' & Hoppin' by Michael DefriesPart: What The Fraggle?:
I just sit here clicking like some madman,
I can't help but waste electricity in this way,
mundane but I sit.
I can't create anything
with the click of my mouse wasting away
while I frenetically kinetically go click click click!
Sounds like my pal, good ol' dolphin.
Cluck click...cluck, click...click click, click.
Damn that's good dolphin speak!
By the way did you know that Dolphins have a
highly sophisticated language
that we don't understand?
So I've heard...
Part: Rockin': and Hoppin':
Back, this droning of clicking and tick-tocking
and click-clacking my mouse pointer distracts
Even my cat would chase and wind up with
cataracts.
I don't need a list, I know what I have to do
today-this-hour and like a mechanical piece
I swish-swosh much like my Swiss army watch.
It's the rhythm and rhyme I like to follow, but it's
the clicking of my mouse that drives me off
like a silent moment waiting for a cough.
I want to be free! So I can write in tandem
It all sounds but a bit random, it's certainly
A centrifuge and frankly I'm a bit confused...
My hands free from this mind-trap device
I'll play my song once more to be nice,
I'll sing my poetry for all to hear.
Last, but not least, just never you fear:
Tum-dee, tum-dum, tum-diddy dee, tum dum
ta-dum da-dum dadum. It's all a bit wee...
trol-lee, ta-dee, ta-doo, tada, tadum,
dum, dum. 01/18/2010 Posted on 01/18/2010 Copyright © 2024 Michael Defries
