h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You took the last seat on the bus
leaving me standing
all the way to the city

Just like you had left me standing
outside the bus shelter
while you sat inside
filling it with smoke
from your cigarette

While we were standing there, on the bus,
my plantar fasciitis and I,
avoiding putting too much weight on my aching heel
I pictured myself
smudging your karma

Smudging it with sticky, black, bad karma
like the tar
in the smoke
from your cigarette

Good thing it's Friday, at least

I thought of saying something sarchastic to him when we got on the bus, but limited myself to giving him The Look - he looked a bit

Ah! *That* look...
I hope he has a hole in his karma now.

You are brilliant, Titania! Making beautiful poetry of this frustrating person! Good thing about giving him the look!!!

A hole in his karma? Oooo... I hadn't pictured The Lòók having *that* effect... *revelling in Schadenfreude*

The Lòók!

Yeah, that looks about right, doesn't it? *s off to patent 'The Lòók' before someone else does*

Nice poetry tinker!

Nice poem indeed.

Sorry the foot is still hurting. Mine comes and goes. Good days and bad days.

Love the poem. And The Lòók! does drill a whole through one's psyche. I oughta know, I can stop my kids dead in their tracks with it.

Hole. It drills a hole. It drills a whole hole, as a matter of fact.

my missus has a look like that and its sceary

Alienist? Oh hang on - is that the Halloween anagram game again? Hi Tal!~waves~

You could split your Halloween name up as well - how about

It's Alien

.... and 'Litanies'....

Using the wordplay program, splitting gives about 150 variations of 'taliesin', of which some of the more meaningful are:

'It's in ale', 'I sin late', and, 'Snail Tie'

Running 'titania' through the program results in 22 variations, a couple of which make sense --> 'I attain', 'A titian',

and somewhat less grammatically:

'I a titan', 'I ain't at', 'I at anti'

Thanks!

The weirdest thing goes on just now! Titanias name shows up two ways - Both the usual and the anagram, depending on where you look... Did you just change it?

Yep - I *am* the Muse of Confusion, after all!

Ahh, and now you are consistenly so... (the different names are now all the same to me )
