Amazing, I never would have guessed it...

When I was living in England three or four years ago, I visited my great uncle John and discovered a computer in his study. 386, or something... only thing on it was a word processor thing. Very ancient thing that displayed the words you typed but that was about it. I was testing out a few fonts and simple commands and wrote this poem, just as text to play around with. It was nothing, didn't mean anything, but I printed it and a week later it was published in my school's newletter as "Poem of the Month". I don't know why it was such a hit. Ended up winning twenty pounds for it for a magazine comp. People are strange.

Twee and Twum

"What shall we do today?" said Twee.
"Well, Twee." said Twum, "I do not know."
Twum turned to Twee and twummed aloud,
Not hummed, but twummed, a perculiar sound.

And as Twum Twums, it would only be,
Appropriate for Twee to Twee.
But as, of course, that would only be,
a stupid abnormality,
to have Twum Twumming is ok,
But to have Twee Tweeing?
Oh no, no way.

Instead we'll have Twee wearing Tweed.
(It is his style, and suits his hair.)
So... where were we? Twee and tweed...
It shall make people turn and stare
to see such a lovely turned-down pair!

Twum turned to the lovely turned-down Twee
And said, "You're a lovely turned-down Twee!"
"And," said Twee, "You're a nice Twumming Twum!"
"Oh stop!" said Twum, "You're flattering me!"
"Let's go for a walk, just for some fun!"

And so they did, on an August Day,
And surely enough, heads turned their way.
