MY ADD POEM

lol at the ADD poem that didn't fail my English poetry project...

On the Dot of the “i” in the “internet explorer” Icon on my Computer’s Desktop

Below is just black ink
Above there is the blue “e”
For the Explorer of space
The extraterrestrials of the universe
The extraordinary elephants eating eagles
Elegantly
Efficiently
Exquisitely
Excellently
Entrancingly
Enormously
Enthusiastically
Evenly
Equally
An eventually ending enumeration of e’s
Engulfed by a ring
Of Saturn
The God of agriculture and harvest
Bringing destruction and devastation to the new harvest
Of potatoes
Of tomatoes
Of beets
Of carrots
Of brussel sprouts
Of eggplant
Of corn
Of squash
Of pumpkins
Used for the next Halloween in the month of October,
The month when trees throw away their leaves
And children catch them hoping to be safe during the winter
From diseases and evil spirits
That haunt the children every school night in their dreams
As do ghosts
Ghouls
Monsters
Witches
Mummies
Demons
Vampires
Zombies
Beasts
From Beauty and the Beast, with the candle
That lit up the room for a welcoming party
Welcoming the newly assassinated diplomat of Mongolia
To the realms of the underworld
Where people remain forever
Like the dean of a public school in Alabama
The teacher of International Relations in a nearby community college
The translator at a local hospital who learned more than ten different languages for his job
The ambassador of Zimbabwe
The flight attendant of Solomon Airlines
The general in World War II
The engineer that made the tank during the Battle of Midway
The mathematician who discovered the next digit of pi
The computer geek
Who spent his days in front of the screen
Clicking the internet explorer icon
At least twenty times a day
Also wondering what it would be like
To be on the dot of the “i” in the “internet explorer” icon
on his computer’s desktop.
