AUTHOR'S NOTES:
Well, guys, another boring Geometry class has borne fruit. i got so bored, I wrote up a poem. Here it is, paid in homage to others, like myself, who are to young or poor to go to NP96.
_Outcasts_
The lists are all a-buzz with joy
The Con is fast approaching
There's more Guests of Honor every day
But the subject that I'm broaching
Is that some of us can't get out there
We just can't raise the dough
To leave our jobs and homes and pets
For warm New Mexico
Most of us want nothing more
Than to attend this fest
To meet our distant on-line friends
And walk the DreamPlane's sandy crests
We pray and pine for miracles
A sudden, divine flow of cash
A miraculous boon unwittingly found
Like a Grendler's hideaway stash
So when, dear friends, you're at the Con
Seeing virtual pals and having fun
Remember us: The broke and forlorn
Who sit at computers 'til all's said and done
And if, on your way to NP96
You travel through my neighborhood
Swing by my house, knock on the door,
And take me along, if you could!
You like? I love feedback, so send it to me if you want to see more work. Or if you don't. Either way. Disclaimer: The last few lines are purely jest, my mom would have a fit if you swung by to pick me up. But thanks for thinking of me.
