Okay, so I'm spammy like all hell. Watch me not care about it.

And I have finally found THE RIGHT POEM TO POST!

I Have a Terrible Cold

I have a terrible cold,
And everyone knows how terrible colds
Alter the whole system of the universe,
Set us against life,
And make even metaphysics sneeze.
I have wasted the whole day blowing my nose.
My head is aching vaguely.
Sad condition for a minor poet!
Today I am really and truly a minor poet.
What I was in old days was a wish; it's gone.

Goodbye for ever, queen of fairies!
Your wings were made of sun, and I am walking here.
I shan't get well unless I go and lie down on my bed.
I never was well except lying down on the Universe.

Excusez un peu ... What a terrible cold! ... it's
physical!
I need truth and aspirin.

...now don't tell me you were expecting something different.


As for the random quizzie:


How evil are you?

Woah, the Little Hamster in my Head was apparently more evil than I thought.


Also, because I love it way too much not to share, and I still thank Ni for linking me to it - John Barrowman sings Doctor Who theme!

God, I STILL love it like mad. David Tennant's background noises regularly do me in.

Hee hee. Apparently, I'm "Angelic," according to the Evil-o-Meter. I didn't see that one coming.

And hurray for poetry! You made a fine choice. :)
