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

I need a poem or some kind of sentimental noise for the CAC
Valentine's issue.

Do you think you might be able to help?

I've got contributions from three males, including myself, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to include the other side...


I know it's a kind of strange thing to wait until I'm in a bind to ask you for anything... But my usual sources are either already Edited or suffering from a sudden shyness...


With apologies if this is a bad time,
or a poorly chosen request,
(tonsil)

I'm flattered, but I'm not any sort of poet... (To be honest, I don't even like poetry all that much) You could try asking Amy+ (I'll get you her U number later--time to go home now)

it could be just a kind of devotional thingie, like a tribute to a spousal unit...
or a child..
or even a couple you once admired.
Not a poem.
Just a paragraph.

Or not.

You're not thinking of Amy the Ant, are you? I know her.

Nope, the other Amy... U50994

Wow. That's a low number!
Thanks.

I don't think so. I just came from her space.
A male in her life just got deployed to Kuwait.
Not a good time, I think.
Thanks, anyway!

A friend. Her is Clive, who she met on here, and who visited last summer, and who she's going to the UK to see next summer (and all this is public info, so I'm not spreading gossip) And she can actually write, unlike me, who's only good at footnotes

Okay. I didn't want to be insensitive.

Fair enough. And you can always tell her I sent you, and she can go at me, if she feels the need

Have done so. Thanks, again.
She has responded tentatively.

No problem. I may be fairly worthless favor-wise () but I certainly know lots of different people to delegate to!
