Brand new words are like catnip to me;
I explore roots and meaning with glee.
Once enlightened, I swoon,
Though, alas, this great boon...
Shall soon from my memory flee.

“Have you gone raving mad?”

Today’s word was: Scream.

HAVE YOU GONE RAVING MAD?

In Railway Cuttings, East Cheam,
Lived a man of whom it would seem
Was a terrible moaner
And reluctant blood donor:
“A pint? That’s an armful!” he’d scream.

If it's longer than it's wide, then it's Purfleet
If it's longer than it's wide, then it's #Purfleet
If it's shorter than its wide, then you're Rainham Marshes side
Get the bus towards Lakeside, back to Purfleet

“It’s too dark in this place,” said the gent.
“Did this restaurant NOT pay its rent?
Your damn, flickering light
On the menu’s a blight.
I give up. You have lamb? I’m lamb bent.”

A "connected" curmudgeon named Frank.
Had a high-level job at a bank.
His performance was panned;
He deserved to be canned...
Yet (surprise!) he survived when ranks shrank.

DOWN TO A SUNLESS SEA
Source: A foolish Old Coder and not LLM
Illustration: GenAI of Elon in the Sky

AI is Satan
So, Fedi AI is hatin'
To most, that seems fine
Few that are sane for AI pine

Flames the Old Coder doesn't seek
This rhyme is tongue in cheek
He sees AI both sides
Does not totally derides

But the AI of right now
Is a world-eating monster cow
Cthulhu, give up your seat
The cow is the monster to beat

AI the economy will smash
After the crash
Billionaires at the bottom of the sea
The place where they need to be

Mad Max 2 world with burning tires
Every institution set to expires
Crushed by AI and the orange toad
It's a colorful story and frightening load

The world's great age begins anew
The golden years return
Yeah, right, that's not going to ensue
It's all going to burn

Meet me on the other side
We'll be in rags, but we'll find our stride
Let's collect the pieces
Hand them to our nephews and nieces

There will be a bit of this and that
AI will be there but with a small hat
Not much gas, but hopefully the Net
I'd rather have the Net, you bet

Little will have been learned
A few more years may have been earned
Then the rest of the bill will come due
It's going to be warm, you know this is true

After that, it'll be down to the sunless sea
We won't be there, not you or me
Twice five miles of infertile ground
No bird will sing, there won't be a sound
