TCP and UDP

We are all packets in the internetworkings of life
You are tcp
And I'm udp

You have a sequence
You have an order
You have connections
People can depend on you

I'm best effort delivery
I come in the order I please
I'm connection less
People know me best for VOIP

As two protocols so different
We pass each other on the
twisted pair highway day by day
I dream about what could be
As I fly by at nearly light speed

Waiting for the stars

WAITING FOR THE STARS

Sitting here on the side of the road
Listening to the crickets call
Long after nightfall
Waiting for the stars to fall

Time moves slow
The moons yellow glow
when will the heavens start the show
Still waiting for the stars to fall

Waiting here with baited breath
Staring into the sky's immeasurable breadth
Watching for a meteors crashing death
As i sit and wait for the stars to fall

Clouds move in and obscure my sight
And I curse the heavens for my cloudy plight
I guess I'll have to wait for tomorrow night
To see any stars that fall

night life

Outside my widow as i lay awake tonight
Mosquitoes buzz around the street light
Flowers sleep their petals closed up tight
And birds on their nest's too tired to take flight.

The stars glow softly, the moon is bright
Even the city skyline is a beautiful sight
People sleep and dream and forget their plight
As i lay awake in bed enjoying this night with delight!
