The Byter Bit

It used to be all bits and bytes.

The biter bit ‘em.

Kilo and mega ruled the stage

But giga clipped their wings

And gathered feathers into fluffy pillows

Slowing the data stream to sleep

And stirring the biter’s rage.

Now watts and hours forgotten

Socks have spun their fabric in a

World Wide Web across the dryer of time.

Fluff stuffs the pipeline up.

It used to be all myths and mine

Were eaten by the gathering gloom

Chewed up, spat out, rejected

Strings gone bad and page reset. Resume.

The biter chomps the bits again

And smites ‘em.
