May 15, 2009 - Planning, planning, planning!

In the course of our coffee break chatter,
I had asked the fish what was the matter.
“It’s the crisis unknown
So this guy I can phone.”
So I told him, “Go see our Mad Hatter.”

May 14, 2009 - A phone system you can count on

"You’ve a problem and to you it’s weighty?
I’ll be glad to resolve it now, matey!
They’ve got password amnesia?
I’ll help to appease ya.
Be glad it’s not ‘BEC80!’"

Bonus Rhyme entered:

It's a test as one plainly can see
And to pass through your troop must agree!
So don't stand there and blubber.
Go find you a shrubber.
For we are the Knights who say "Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing ...."!

May 13, 2009 - Communications breakdown

At the music and media blitz,
All complete with its glamour and glitz,
People filled the horizon
Just like that Verizon
Mob. Cell phones all went on the fritz.

So in hopes that the outage be thwarted,
There a patch was installed, ‘twas reported.
"No, the patch isn’t recent.
It’s still pretty decent,
And lucky for you, it’s supported."

May 12, 2009 - Because you just can't be too careful about these things

I’m in poet. I’m writing specirfcally
About cartoons and creatures so Smurfcally.
I won’t be a bad cog.
I will proofread my glog,
Thus ensuring our corp’rate securfcally.

I wanted to do something for this story that had nothing to do with JIM THE BOSS. (That would have been too obvious.) Instead, I went with using the two misspellings and made a couple of my own. Granted, it isn't easy to read, but I think it fit the story. And, by the way, I am not a fan of the Smurfs! I needed the rhyme!

May 11, 2009 - This lesson is cheap at $3.99 a minute

Fish's co-worker's put on the hook.
When he dialed that chat line, he shook.
But the council’s amused
And the gaffe was excused.
He used Eliot Spitzer’s phone book.
