good, better, best

I get up early

too early

so early the cat

looks

and goes back to sleep

The dog would have

at least relocated

before going

back to sleep

But then I get on the net

and see that

the virtual world is in fact

populated

by

"insomniactics and gypsy hacks"

all connected by

the thin blue line

of the

TCP/IP

protocol

and I feel

a little better
