Looking for inspiration for today's ditty,
I thought, "Why not google a random web site?"
Alas, my google does not let me
"Feel lucky", and take whatever
The electrons deem to be a tasty view,
Delivered to me by some one of you,
With unknown perils and pleasures thus found.
Google will let me sift through a host
Of random bits and pieces, catering
My lucks of the draws
With strange search heuristics
And other such hidden laws...
Thus I found myself visiting
"random website dot com",
Which appears to work on
Much smaller subsets of the web.
Much to my surprise,
Upon my first click,
I'm transported to Boneville,
A comic drawn by Jeff Smith -
Fondly remembered from 20 years ago,
With that burned-in panel memory:
"Stupid, Stupid Rat Creatures!"
I must say that comics
Are quite a foundation
For humor both light and twisted,
And I am quite pleased
That Bloom County has resurfaced
This year, with all of its guys
Bringing tears of joy to my eyes...
Ah! Animation!
Allowing us to bend reality,
Or to delve deep into its secrets -
I just want to shout out for
Calvin and Hobbes,
Hepcats, Cerebus,
Cyanide and Happiness,
And so many more
That have left little marks
Upon my soul...
Still, today,
I was reminded of "Bone",
And I hope you can visit them,
To enjoy bits of humor that may hit home...
