Rush With Death Silent statues swaying in the wind, Callow soldiers in endless batallions, Mark the Field of battle this bloody day. One threat, one unending carnivorous threat, Opposes them, entering through the portal Positioned in the Netherwall; defiance runs. Monstrous grumblings, rumblings in the ground Penetrate into the heads, reverberating, Vibrating, causing unending, yet subliminal pain. A masquerade of death ensues as helpless Soldiers rush the beast, Netherwall monster. Thousands upon thousands are Mowed to the ground, Like fish in a barrel full of mines. Silent screams sound through the bright day, Last utterance of a week-old race. Shortened, cut down, annihalated, Soon born again, rising from the bodies Like a Phoenix from fire, they start anew, Preparing again for the coming of the Netherbeast. And the Engine is shut down, to cool in the Spring air. [This message has been edited by Masked Intruder (edited 05-29-99).] [This message has been edited by Masked Intruder (edited 05-29-99).] |

This is more about what I couldn't do at work! DEAR BILL Oh praise be to Billy you’ve done it again We sacrificed pig a goat and a hen Danced naked at Stonehenge worn sackcloth at dawn And buried a bat and a toad in the lawn But finally we got your software on this damn machine Now we’re writing because we’d like to come clean Seventy eight hours installation is a shit load of fun But we really need to get this program to run Oh Billy, oh Billy please heed our call Your database is driving us half up the wall Your cabs keep on crashing (which is kinda swell) And to top it all we’re running the wrong DLL Your video drivers careered off the tracks We really need some help from your anoraks It did work last Friday after ERROR = NULL Just long enough to tell us the log file was full We’ve shot the mail server, bought pigeons instead We need your software like a hole in the head Tony’s pulled all his hair out and you’ve driven Dylan to drink Which wasn’t as hard as you might at first think Dave’s still heavily into Basic, he’s living in a wood Going steady with a flower child in a red riding hood Pete let loose on Monday just jumped in his car Said something about Poland and starting a war I moved into Marketing, I’m doing all right In fact I’ve an idea that I think just might Sell to the public, with a slot on the tube If we try pushing your software as the new Rubik’s cube |

the worst thing has happened. she died today. a mixture of alcohol and tylenol - one too many times. her brother, sister-in-law and child came tonight to clear her things as if she were never here. how my heart ached as i watched their tears. what to say, what to do, today my job was shit. ~ celtic rose ~ |
