36 Hours Unplugged
The new moon gnaws at my soul
and I'm jabbing that DUP needle
straight back in
Life support restored
it's good to be home
with a wing a prayer and a poem
although up to now
licking screens and stroking logos
has never been my thing
(it doesn't work by the way)
Legal highs are everywhere
but that's not it
it's my own chemicals
I must beware of most
and for anyone still not sure
what this site is about
in the words of Hotel California
"You can check out any time you like
but you can never leave"

that you'd compose a poem about the temporary break sooner or later, and it seems that my prediction was accurate. Deft and witty piece carved with your usual astute and delicate linguistic skills. I especially enjoyed the line about being more aware of one's own brain chemicals.

Well, you didn't need to go on a mind reading course for that one, Jack. Please note I'm not mentioning willys once here(is that the correct plural). I hope my previous offerings are as well received. Appreciate your feedback.

being able to post again on DUP...and of course, being able to read thoughtful little notes like this one from my good friend Abra.
Enjoyable - and like Celine says - the last line indeed made me smile.

Thanks for the comment, Steven - no doubt like me you were feeling it. Nothing like a good outage to richen the blood is there.
