More Milne
Christopher Robin
Had wheezles
And sneezles,
They bundled him
Into
His bed.
They gave him what goes
With a cold in the nose,
And some more for a cold
In the head.
They wondered
If wheezles
Could turn
Into measles,
If sneezles
Would turn
Into mumps;
They examined his chest
For a rash,
And the rest
Of his body for swellings and lumps.
They sent for some doctors
In sneezles
And wheezles
To tell them what ought
To be done.
All sorts and conditions
Of famous physicians
Came hurrying round
At a run.
They all made a note
Of the state of his throat,
They asked if he suffered from thirst;
They asked if the sneezles
Came after the wheezles,
Or if the first sneezle
Came first.
They said, “If you teazle
A sneezle
Or wheezle,
A measle
May easily grow.
But humour or pleazle
The wheezle
Or sneezle,
The measle
Will certainly go.”
They expounded the reazles
For sneezles
And wheezles,
The manner of measles
When new.
They said “If he freezles
In draughts and in breezles,
Then PHTHEEZLES
May even ensue.”Christopher Robin
Got up in the morning,
The sneezles had vanished away.
And the look in his eye
Seemed to say to the sky,
“Now, how to amuse them to-day?”So many people have viral bugs. I couldn’t resist posting another of my A. A. Milne favorites.
Waiting eagerly for Steve Jobs’ announcement today…

Gotta say, I like my Gorgonzola the best with honey and walnuts… ack! I really need to stop talking about food at work. It’s only 10:30 and I’m STARVING.
Soooo…..re. Steve Jobs’s announcement. How about that Cisco lawsuit? Wow, now there’s an announcement for ya.
LOL
Y’know that Apple has been talking with Cisco about the name for years. There are others using the name, too. I’m sure they’ll all sue. The Apple lawyers seems to be anticipating it all. *shrug*
I printed out a paper 3-D model iphone from the web and glued it together for Levi. It works.
Yeh. It does.

This is definitely one of the worst weeks of the year… I hate all the mindless studying that you only do for the midterms. The stress just fogs everything… GAAH.
