toi Soldiers

Pretention, I would never have thought it.
Why seek to emulate those in the past
Whose elloqution styles such'a
pain in the ass.

But seriously,
you can learn a lot running down roads
leading to their influences.
Vast amounts of knowledge pours
from study of those confluences.

Poor rhyme, maybe, if so, save me.
I was tired of it anyway.

Tired Of It...
toi:
An acronym, pet name, lowercase.
Soft unpretentious toi, ragged with use.
I won't bother you with my number;
there are lots of toi's
in the cyber box.

But I'm getting away from my point,
pretention, remember?

Harry/toi traveled

Across vast seas
of cyberspace
coming to a writer's place
where the Author made decree
about inspirations face
and how those in the know
and those wanting to know
both gained by the interface

toi watched while Harry posted:

Talk of masters and student
may seem to be rudiment... ary
a simple exchange of givers
and takers... hmnn?
worshipful and Fakirs
.........................but then
what does inspire
the jaded on their electronic pyres
in giving their attention
to the second dimension
portrayed by the flat page
.........................Not a chance
if I am one to gauge
.........................current proclivities
worn out sensibilities
.........................engrossed by
Theatrical thrillers
Horrific chillers
.........................and funny stuff
all infantile guff insuring
continued lethargy
inspire me?

excuse me while I change the channel
back to our previous program.

toi was agast,
"Harry, you pretentious ass,
why drop a bomb on that boy?"
Harry dropped his head
ashamed and he said,
"I'm sorry, softspoken toi."
