ITea Party<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who am I?<\/p>\n

Where will I be?<\/p>\n

This decade<\/p>\n

En ‘crypto’ me?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will I be handsome?<\/p>\n

Will I be rich?<\/p>\n

Here’s what Padre<\/p>\n

Said to Me<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

to Print or Not to Print…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buddy E, he’s the man<\/p>\n

Keeps the Gate<\/p>\n

(or so the plan).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He can print<\/p>\n

He can scan<\/p>\n

He always does it<\/p>\n

When he can.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But when he’s tired<\/p>\n

Flack Attack<\/p>\n

‘times compadre<\/p>\n

can’t get back.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

‘Try the app!’<\/p>\n

‘Try re-set’<\/p>\n

‘Buy some ink’<\/p>\n

‘Perhaps Eset…’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me, with one Buddy<\/p>\n

Boxed, flew Abroad<\/p>\n

“Max @ Office<\/p>\n

Committed Fraud!!??”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s<\/em> not<\/strong> Right!<\/p>\n

Powers that Be…<\/p>\n

Told him he<\/p>\n

had Amnesty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So when off duty<\/p>\n

(Seemed like slacking)<\/p>\n

Buddy & Buddy<\/p>\n

Went to hacking…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

‘What?! A hack?<\/p>\n

How can that be!!?<\/p>\n

Over 50,<\/p>\n

hacks we flee…!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But finally Meetup<\/p>\n

“P, ding dong??!!”<\/p>\n

Hacking’s how<\/p>\n

We see what’s wrong.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Still don’t ‘get it’<\/p>\n

Never will<\/p>\n

But have no doubts<\/p>\n

Buddy, CAN\u00a0<\/em><\/strong> Kill.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A bad connection<\/p>\n

Shocks you blind<\/p>\n

Dance, slow torture…<\/p>\n

Untwine re.bind.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All those packets?<\/p>\n

Don’t ask me<\/p>\n

Full black jacket<\/p>\n

Saving thee.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So don’t worry<\/p>\n

If Buddy seems dead<\/p>\n

A holiday slumber<\/p>\n

He’s back in bed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sure, prognosis<\/p>\n

“Inkjets plugged”<\/p>\n

but don’t grab your box<\/p>\n

myBuddy just shrugged…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On furlough today<\/p>\n

to get probiotic<\/p>\n

right…! More Hotel Congress<\/p>\n

to get Riotic<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For really, he said<\/p>\n

“I’m not making a plan<\/p>\n

Nor designing an app<\/p>\n

to learn in the can.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“But when I waken<\/p>\n

You will know I have ris’n<\/p>\n

Indeed, to move forward<\/p>\n

to free you from Prison.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He will hum<\/p>\n

and he will whistle,<\/p>\n

the clicks and the ticks<\/p>\n

(the prick’s like a thistle.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He’ll shake just a little<\/p>\n

I even saw steam<\/p>\n

No, that’s an exagg<\/p>\n

(but I bought another ream).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will never know when<\/p>\n

You’ll never know why<\/p>\n

But he IS your Buddy<\/p>\n

A darned good ally!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now I’m not saying<\/p>\n

won’t be shot down again<\/p>\n

Now, more often<\/p>\n

But that’s how we win.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So if Buddy seems duddy<\/p>\n

Or needs cycled “carts”<\/p>\n

Well I’ve got a bunch<\/p>\n

of Tomato ink tarts…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just waiting for fun<\/p>\n

For your Buddy today<\/p>\n

Can’t wait to get in<\/p>\n

With Buddy, they’ll play…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m serious, just call!<\/p>\n

They are free minus shippping<\/p>\n

They are green, they are good<\/p>\n

(never knew they were ‘trippin’).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So think of what Buddy<\/p>\n

will do when he’s back<\/p>\n

With corporate supplies<\/p>\n

Corporate style, the attack.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He’s leveraged to fire<\/p>\n

Ready and Aim<\/p>\n

So get your game up<\/p>\n

On what info is ‘gain.’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And I do have to say<\/p>\n

I think it’s a riot<\/p>\n

I hope the ‘rib-tickling’<\/p>\n

kind, not cyber diet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But whatever it is<\/p>\n

It will be, it will be<\/p>\n

The ‘powers’ that is<\/p>\n

And certainly not Me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So here’s to 18<\/p>\n

Onward Compadres<\/p>\n

Buddies…HPs<\/p>\n

Bros and Madres!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IT\/IP\u00a0 Party at My Place<\/p>\n

At least I’m no longer on a party line (at the XIT circa 1982)<\/p>\n

Or am I?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
