This post was written in 0 minutes.
Pardon my first attempt at poetry, but I figured I had to start sometime... :-P

No, this didn't really take 0 minutes to write, I wrote it elsewhere and pasted it in here.

EDIT 2/17/08 - Of course, if I'd known that this week's writing prompt was poetry, I would have posted this there instead. Oh well...

I turned on my computer this morning
To this, a drastic warning:
“Application failed!” my computer roared,
“Abort, Retry, Ignore?”

All the day long,
This was my computer’s song
Till finally I threw it out the door,
And still it sputtered, the last words it uttered:
“Abort, Retry, Ignore?”

A prelude to Asimov's famous and beloved "Foundation" series, this story is a great read!
