Now hear ye, in my Dragon post
I fain would gather votes the most,
Let me remind thee: I’m a mage;
Thou would’st not see me in a rage?
Or yet, annoy my flaming friend,
Who might then fry thee up thine end,
And when thou’d turned a tasteful black
Wouldst crunch thee up for morning snack?
So sally ye forth thither, then,
Rememb’ring I am number ten,
And if ye magicke therein see,
Pray cast an email vote for me …
Or I may’st steal away thy souls,
And make thy socks go full of holes,
And change thy morning coffee to
A frogspawn, snail-slimed, hellish brew,
And organise a maggot crew,
Thy entrails, while alive, to chew,
And clog thy arteries with glue –
Pray that my meaning cometh through?
Assuredly the day shalt rue
Should thee not this, thy duty, do,
Supporting me by choosing true –
The ‘ ten’ remaineth vital clue!
And even though it gets thy goat,
It needful is for a re-vote,
Thus, though thou put one in before
Do it again, or it won’t score!

Oh well, I’ll have to fall back on the innard-slurping maggots or the sock holers. I suppose you don’t take morning coffee?

You would have to change the whole office’s coffee because I only get myself a mug once I’ve settled in there 😉

No prob. Knowing normal office coffee, though, nobody is going to notice the difference.

Well, the quality of your coffee depends on how educated you are with regards to office related things. There is one machine amongst the 10 in the office that actually has good coffee, you are just required to walk down two flights of stairs and through the cafeteria to get to it!

Good to see you!
Clicking on the ‘thither’ should take you to a post where there are four finalists in a dragon story writing contest. Clicking on their numbers enables one to read them. Then an email is sent to the designated address to vote for the one you like the most.
