B.A. Varghese- A Poem

Have Another Byte

Partake in the abundant hot hors d'oeuvres

of Google. Load your plate with moist stuffed web

sites, healthy news feeds, heaping spoons of mashed

tall facts from Wikipedia with thick

links drizzled over. Please avoid the blogs

because they are so full of ham. Inhale

with speed a Facebook casserole. Not Sure

why people like the taste. Check out the legs

on that, but grab the breast instead. And wash

it down with floods of email junk. Enjoy

the jelly Twitter sauce, so sweet at first

but sickening when overly indulged.

Too stuffed to have another byte on this

vast internet thanksgiving? It is, just

in fact, too much to take in all at once.

Now information indigestion starts.
