Pigeon Modem

Since I live in Hawaii, I tried to capture some of the local Pigeon English.


PIGEON MODEM

Computer got broke
New modem went blew
Repairman make wait
'Cause his went blew too.

Now sit and wait long
Tell repairman to come
Say get one new piece
Make modem go hum.

Fix computer fast
Quick turn on one time
So finally can write
One blown modem rhyme.

What a small world. I signed your other poem and didn't even realize that you had been on the Showemall Writers' Block. This is a cute poem.
