Hey someone, in charge, I’m talking to you
across a vast ocean of errors numbered 502.
Please, put a quarter in the little slot that dispenses the feed,
so, the little gray squirrel gets what he needs,
to spin the little aluminum wheel that generates
the Susie-Bake oven light which facilitates
the solar cells powering the 1984 Tandy desktop,
that’s the Hello Poetry server - it’s ground to a stop.
We love that squirrel, and if we sound cloying,
it’s because we find the constant 502 errors annoying.
