ooooooh
I wonder what it is!
Awesome!
I won these babies in FakeSteve's Periphial competition.
Here is my entry.
Ode to a Microsoft Keyboard.
Oh Microsoft internet keyboard.
You were the center of my starcraft universe
Bold, fat and plastic,
with keys that would only ever irritate;
Like that sleep button i pressed while playing on abyss,
What the fuck was that about?
Who designed that piece of shit, making me dead my computer whilst
in tense one on one action.
And yet i nurtured you.
Ofcourse, in sadistic fashion
i shaped you after my own motives
Carving your surface with knife
Throwing keys away so that i may play better.
So many fond memories are tied to what you let me have
The friends i met and typed to,
You, and you alone
were the messenger.
You would always remind me of the past
My rat would crawl about on you, shedding hair into your depths
and even urinating
Yet i still loved you like i loved that rat.
And the hair that i would clean out of my microsoft keyboard
Years after that rat had died, would bring me another reminder that he was alive.
Now the keyboard sits under my desk, replaced by shiny new plastic
keyboarding experiences. But the fun i had painting, defacing and modifying you
Will always be buried in my mind
Like that poor rat i had to bury in the yard.
