Nah. the internal ding resounds, with a write a poem dummy! and so I did, even if it ain't exactly short and sweet or more pissy than pithy Ha! while dashing off this scripty nitty gritty writy, guess what? my cafe au lay grew cold again, and so  the poem repeats itself...grrr... now, me extra very hot & pissy
