Poetry Sunday


I made the transition from PC to iMac long ago, and have never looked back. Of course, since Agnes still uses a PC, I have to stay relatively current on Windows so that I can serve as the help desk of first resort. This poem by Clive James begins with our frustrations with Windows and applies them to the changing nature of language ...

Windows is Shutting Down
by Clive James

Windows is shutting down, and grammar are
On their last leg. So what am we to do?
A letter of complaint go just so far,
Proving the only one in step are you.

Better, perhaps, to simply let it goes.
A sentence have to be screwed pretty bad
Before they gets to where you doesnt knows
The meaning what it must be meant to had.

The meteor have hit. Extinction spread,
But evolution do not stop for that.
A mutant languages rise from the dead
And all them rules is suddenly old hat.

Too bad for we, us what has had so long
The best seat from the only game in town.
But there it am, and whom can say its wrong?
Those are the break. Windows is shutting down.


And I'm shutting down, too ... at least for the moment.

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
