 Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2006 11:05 pm Post subject: Ode to the TI-89. |
 |
|
There are times when I'm low
and I've nowhere left to go,
except to the lonely hole
inside my room.
In there I will dwell,
pondering of the hell
that my calculus can
bring man.
THEN!
A FLASH AND A BANG
EVERTHING GOES ZIP AND ZANG
AS I GRAB THE BEST THING FOR MEEEEEEEE!
TI-89!
EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS FINE
WHEN I'VE GOT MY TI-89!
INTEGRALS DON'T HAVE A CHANCE,
EVERYONE GET UP AND DANCE
TI-89!
Calculus is such a bore,
but you never have to snore,
if you have a calculator like mine!
Watch the problems start to die,
geez who needs to multipy?
TI-89!
T is for the time I save,
I is for the integrals it craves
8 is for the verses I sing
9 is the times that people scream
T-I-89!

Oh. My. God.
First reaction: TI-89? Did Dono convert from the dark side?
*clicks link*
Second reaction: Oh, my brother did a poem about... a calculator?
Third reaction: Wow... this is really bad. It reminds me of my old poetry...
Fourth reaction: But it *is* kind of funny...
Fifth reaction: A shoo-in for the poem of the week! |

Oh. My. Goddess. W. T. F? Texas Instruments...
I don't think I can think anymore - I draw a blank - quedado un blanco... all that's there is someone in my mind asking -
'Did you just read that?' - maybe it's my conscious
On second thought I love it. Nothing much else to say. Wonderful ode.
EDIT: I third Snoink's fifth reaction. |

"The Usergroup", eh?
um.. dare I ask? And what does Dono have to do with this?
but it is pretty funny..
and it rhymes. and not badly. I'm scared, shocked, stunned, and amazed. And a little awed.. I can't rhyme a thing.
and ditto Snoink's fifth, though I have no sway in that derpatment. |

Oh ... god.
(I knew it was either Snoink or Griffinkeeper — I knew it.)
Is it scary that I can hear the tune in my head? |

I can too, smaur. *shakes head*
Wow. Griff, this is... special, lol.
Actually, it's convinced me to get the TI-89. The fact that it was the top choice out of the ones my future calc teacher gave me has nothing to do with it.  Very nice. Thanks for helping me make that decision - I couldn't've done it without you, man. |

There are no words...
It reminded me out of something out of Captain Underpants, to be completely honest.
And I love Captain Underpants.
Nice work, Grif. |

Woah! Hehe, I can hear the tune too!
SO great that you can make a song about something like a calculator actually work. I don't know much about calculators myself. Haven't done math since GCSE. |

I could probably do the same for other topics, but it wouldn't be half as satisfying.
Although it would be funny to listen to a boy band sing it. |

Haha, I can actually sing this! Twas wonderful! Who knew grew was such a songwriter?! (probably a lot of people, but not me) I think I might save this for those times I have to do my homework. This poem totally put me in a new prospective.... XD
It was hilarious AND rhymed. *claps hands*
