Ode to a Filing Cabinet by *blank-lishi:iconblank-lishi:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Humor > Open




Filing cabinet,
                   we love you so -
                                          just one complaint:
Why,
                  after all this time,
                                          are you still
disalphabetiacal?
            Do you redisalphabetize yourself?
                                                    Or do the mindless masses,
inadvertantly,
                   or advertantly, as the case may be,
                                             have some sort of affiliation with your
     disalphabetiacality?

Author's Comments

Back in Infotech 9/10, we kept our various files in a small but yielding cabinet. Our names, however, were often found out of synch. We therefore drew the conclusion that a conspiracy may or may not be at hand. On one of the "magical trips to the filing cabinet", Sarah (Morgan-La-Fey) and I pondered upon the very grounds upon which we based our theory. Later, at lunch, I was compelled to write a poem to fully describe my feelings caused by this disalphabetiacality.

Okay, this is awesome.

I work in a furniture department where we sell filing cabinets sometimes and I'm working there right now and I find this hillarious.

Thank you.

oh, im so glad this has found a place of honour like it deserves. :D good times... it still holds all the magic and conflict that it did all those (two) years ago.

Would you rather be a Juxtaposition or a Hyperbole?

:D indeed. For me, it is an rediscovered uncovered treasure, and reminds me of my love for making up words. Speaking of which, a couple weeks ago I made up the word "counter-monotaniety" for Aidan's essay and Ms. Button didn't catch it until she edited the grammatical errors in the rest of the sentence :D I feel proud.
