# Ode to b3ta.
This morning I rolled into work,
Round about half past nine,
Motivated and raring to go,
At my job in software design.

I sat down and cranked up,
My rusty old PC,
Clicked on IE and opened it up,
And guess what I did see.

Here I'm sat three hours later,
With everyone chasing me,
Cos of b3ta I've done no work,
Just laughed at poetry.

# hmm
This morning my alarm was set
For half an hour past nine
Other peoples mornings
Start much earlier than mine.

A journalism lecture
Awaited my young ears
So my valued education
Could last several more years

I got up and said "Bollocks!
A lectures not for me!
Instead I will go back to bed,
Then look at b3t

a."

That last bit didn't work very well.

I too found it difficult,
to make b3ta rhyme,
although I tried and tried again,
I failed every single time.
(james, Wed 13 Feb 2002, 7:08, archived)
# .
it struck me that it would rhyme with "we three kings" but it doesn't. i am retarded. it rhymes with "three tea be eh?" sort of. i am stupid.

# Hmm..
Alas I am useless,
I can't rhyme with B3ta.
I'm a rhyming loser,
the anti-poet called Peter.

# ?
lumpbucket rhyme's confused me today
like so much of b-3-t-a.
I might be a thick carrot
but I thought b3ta rhymed with parrot

# of course if you pronounce it
bee-tair,
you can rhyme it with
polar bear.

# i tried to rhyme the b3ta word
but didn't no how it sound
so i gave up on what I was doing
and left it in the middle of the line

like this verse which I can't work out.

# Lunch: The results
I plumped for blue cheese and raspberry jam
In a warm and crusty roll.
I was going to have soup but couldn't decide
between having it in a cup or bowl.

I can't decide which to have
sandwich or roll
maybe I'll code a page
for a b3ta users poll

Sounds as if your a real go-getter,
but save yourself some effort,
and just use "Which is Better?"..

# A tale of woe from my lunch
Feeling peckish off I went to Marksies for my tucker
I bought a tikka chicken wrap that really tasted pucka.
With chicken breast wrapped in a naan
crisp lettuce and raita
It really was a smashing feed, it couldn't have been sweeter.

But as I wolfed it down, I sadly did something quite drastic
I didn't see the wrapping, now I've eaten half the plastic
The choking sounds that I produced drew dissapproving glances
And the food I managed to eject spread over wide expanses

So listen to this tale if you don't want to choke or cough
Always chew your food, don't nosh it down like piggies at a trough.

# excellent
the 'adjective' + 'animal' combo works much better than the single word version.

Is smoke coming out of your server yet?

# yes, the dictionary
of a 80,000 words was just a bit cumbersome really. Didn't work very well.
I prefer lots of the adjectival combinations to the straight words.
