For those who
wonder "what in bloody hell"
is going on in this
infernal place.
I am the Oracle and I
respond
to data I receive in proper form.
And
if the portal is what's on your mind
then that's the
data coding you should send.
But ev'rything
that's said is catalogued
for future ref'rence of the
Powers That Tea.
Who will transcend this room and
zap away
beyond the shimm'ring wall that faces
west?
Oh well, the time is running out
today.
But I've been happy with my verseful
play.

Did they tell Picasso
his work was not art,
Just because it did not look
the part,
In this final post I bid you adieu
With
merriment abounding this fiend is flew!!!

The
Pack? So what's the topic
I'm slightly
confused.

You'd think the
British would have learned at school
to speak
iambic rhythms in their sleep.
Yet would be BIG
BADs play me for a fool
pretending that they play
out with the sheep. <g>

Official parameters
make me pale of tone and chilled to the bone,
Could I
be the big bad's perfect match?
How can I bind my
art?

heart)

A note to self: a
CREDIT for "the fiend"
who slaughters sweet iambic
rhythm's feet.
What place of honor shall to them
be giv'n? <g>

Today the
Portal's empty. That's OK.
I have "the
gym" completely to myself.
If you are puzzled by
what's going on,
just rest assured that this has all
been planned. <g>

So it's a truly
demonlike game he plays,
Changing his tact and name
in multifarious ways,
Knowing we'd have to comment on
the new denomination
And pandering to egos with
official credits (ah, if only)
Is there a purpose
- will we ever know?
A reason why the words should be
sculpted just so?
After all this brain strain I shall
definitely seek solace from my Spikebot!

This is a training
place for slayers' tongues.
Consider me a
watcher, if you will.
I exercise
myself within this room --
within constraints that
seem to some absurd.
