One For Emma

I sit at my computer
working hard you know...
work is all around me
and the day is going slow.

but then i see a symbol,
upon my computer screen
the flash of incoming mail
can easily be seen.

I open up the programme
i think outlook is quite nice
and then i see something on it
that makes me look back twice!

a message pops up for me
its from my old mate Em
i open up said message
and the shock settles in

"when will you blog next?"
the message states clearly
i shudder to think straight
as i begin to type in wearily

"soon" i say, my time is short
i have no internet at home
i know its hard to keep up the pace
my lack thereof is well known.

so i make a rash decision
to go the real hard yards
i log on at work, and risk the sack
to meet Em's demands.

I type this blog for Emma,
she is a strange one, you see,
but for all her quirks and weirdness,
she is a friend to me.

I hope this blog is a nice one
for her, and all her friends, to read.
its got no mention of pirates though,
so i guess that'll come back to me.
