Hello all,
I'm going to bed soon (hah, what a joke, I'll probably be up for a while longer wasting time), but before I attempt to hang out with Morpheus, I thought I'd share a Creative Writing assignment with you.
The homework was to read a chapter on voice in writing and then pick one of the challenges in the chapter. I selected "an ode to something trivial or silly." And so...
Ode to Macbook
Oh, beautiful Macbook
How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways
Thy pearly white exterior
Of purity and perfect form
Thy wondrous magnetized power cable
That will protect thee from falling
When some foolish Microsoft devotee
Deliberately trips over the dangling cord
Thy 13-inch screen, untouched by time
The dust would dare not settle on it
Thy keyboard is elegant in shape
Functional in every way
How could I live if not for the blessed touchpad
That serves to enlighten me
As I scroll through the latest soul-searching
YouTube video of frolicking kittens?
Thy shield against computer plague
For who would dare stand
Against the firewall of a mighty Mac?
Dear Macbook, thou art the ideal
Amongst all the other laptops
But I do have one small request
Couldst thou learn the ways
Of the gaming computer?
...
Yeah. I had way too much fun with that.
Cheers,
Shauna
