The Silver Jubilee of the Reign of Silence

You sit before the untalkative screen

(So do I, but too talkative)

Byrhtnoth plucks an endless shaft

From his interminable shield

Somewhere in the glossary

I sit before my too talkative screen

And try to spur you to talk indeed

To make a day have happened

Instead of a temporal picnic

To prize a burnished degree

From a course where thought mires

Over wireless wires

The saucepan hangs and the dolphin enquires

How's Fife? How's life? God Save the Queen.

(Added in line with the addressee's preferences)

extempore

of course

loooove

desolate
