At My Desk...

Near midnight,
by flickering candle light,
i swear, by flickering candle light
i sit there, illuminated by the keyboard
that i don't need to see
but the shadows that play
make Groucho's face dance and sway
as he rolls up his eyes in that, oh, so familiar way
Quasimodo has a shade tree, at least;
a corn plant
while he's tied to the wheel
in his torn green shirt
and his bright orange pants
The Crow and Hellboy stand together as one
underneath Red Hawk feathers a Coyote gave me
Spock raises his hand
"Live Long and Prosper"
Gandalf, Aragorn, and Bilbo
battle Orcs, Urukai, Goblins and Shelob
Yoda and the Emperor
Locked forever in combat
Daredevil stares blindlly
with nunchakas well in hand
and that is just before me
there is still behind me, friends
this is desk, home and computer
little wonder the fun never ends...
