(We were asked for an eight-line poem in AABBCCDD scheme, featuring a noise, a colour, and an octopus.)

"Better Off With Takeout"

Oh creature fine, limbs numb'ring eight
How shall I get you on my plate?
Shall you with a great sizzle fry,
or boil until red, by and by?
Oops, no, that's lobsters, silly me,
O! Octopus, I'll let you be,
for when I'm doing dishes you
stick to the pan like superglue.

One imagines the turnover rate of bunnies must be fairly high. I did a bit of research and found this sequence of posts on a free blogging site for Anthropomorphic Personification. (I highly recommend reading Death of Rats' blog. SQUEAK has never been so eloquent a phrase.)

Today, I:

Got up at six thirty.
Dressed myself in Grown-Up Clothes.
Rejoiced in how I didn't have to unbutton my trousers to put them on; considered investing in the next size down when I landed a job.
Caught the bus.
Missed my busstop and didn't panic. Got off at next one, walked further.
Arrived at interview, fifteen minutes early.
Aced the typing test, 'job aptitude test', and 'ability to fill out forms' test.
Wondered about some of the questions on the 'job aptitude test' being entirely ethical, decided to not raise a stink until AFTER they'd given me the job. (Seriously: True or False? "I am capable of experiencing true joy"/ "I sometimes feel like there's no point, and it prevents me from getting things done." Yes, I lied on those questions.)
Made my interviewer laugh.
Listened in on a couple of calls.
Said "Yes, I would like to do this job."
Signed contract.
Organised a carpool.
Went to Tim's.
Wandered around a bit.
Came home.
Spent rest of day in state of joyous shock.

... all, I find out ten minutes ago when I notice the label, with my trousers on backwards. Yep. I am just that cool.

You know that point you reach where the stress just has to go somewhere, and you read/see/hear/think something which really isn't that funny at all, but you see it and it catches you so by surprise that you can't help laughing, to the point where you're really concerned about depriving your brain of oxygen?

Yeah.

*snicker*

Picture Robin III saying "there are those who call me... Tim."
