Fiddling Figures Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Fiddling Figures

Rating: 3.8


O my, dear Robert
it burns to see you
have moved to fifty-six
from fifty one.
So much for 'nipulation
and blatant uh, uh
I could have told you.
Perhaps the big old liar
who did accuse
would now be quiet.
And my computerman,
a gentle bloke
said that this can't be done
was it a joke?

it can. as soon as PH tells me how to do it, it will be done. not having done it before, I wasn't sure whether to keep hitting Robbie's home page or the poem...I chose the wrong option. watch this space, Rubric.
