Channeling Dr Seuss

I'm here because I am not there
That blog I used to be
For even though that there was fun
And sorta kinda free
The people over there who run
The movies, sound and light
Did not appear to get a clue
Nor wish to set things right.

I do not like the gifs that jump
And leap and bound and spin
I do not like them, here nor there,
Not outside nor within.
I do not like them on a pig
I do not like them fried
I do not like them in my hair
I do not like them tied.

I do not like the dancing ape
Which leaps across my screen
I do not like the big-eyed girls
Who lip-sync words to Queen.
I do not like them when they walk
I do not like them there
I do not like them when they talk
Not here nor anywhere.

And so I asked them over there,
Those folks who make it run,
If I could get a blog that won't
Attack me like a Hun.
They laughed and grinned and nodded twice
As they my ticket read
And said of course we can do that
If you'll just send us bread!

But but I said with words so small
That all can understand
Back when I moved my blog you said
That I could have a hand
In saying if my screen would race
Or leap or crawl or scream,
but now you say I cannot have
this silent peaceful dream?

No no they grinned, of course you can
If you will pay this fee
We'll stop the dancing screaming stuff
And of it you'll be free!
I sighed and packed my little bag
And left that very day,
But as i did, I whispered back,
In hopes they'd hear me say:

I do not like the leaping chimp
I do not like the hare...
I do not like them on my screen
I do not want them there!
I do not do not want my Mac
To babble at me thus,
But I will leave before I feel
That I must make a fuss.

So here I am and here we are
And I don't see a goose
Whose feathers ruffle while he jumps
When I don't cut him loose.
BUT if I see a single ape
Who leaps from screen to me
You bet that I will pack my bags
And find a different tree!

I DO NOT like the flying pig,
I DO NOT LIKE the goat.
I DO NOT LIKE the dancing moose
Nor boats that rock and float.
I DO NOT DO NOT LIKE the noise
Distractions on my screen.
I do not like them in my head
So often I could scream.

Hopefully soon I shall be able to figure out how to archive all my writings and move them from my old blog.
Time will tell, though. If not, I shall simply write more!
