a poem by TJ johnson (sempy) c.1998
SINCE WE'RE HERE TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS DAY
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME,
TO HANG THE MISTLETOE IN SEMPY'S CAFE,
AND SAY WHAT'S ON MY MIND.
TO NEVER AGAIN LET TIME GO BY WITHOUT ME SAYING MORE,
AND TO TELL YOU FROM MY HEART,
YOU ARE FRIENDS THAT I ADORE,
AND HAVE FROM THE START.
BUT LET ME NAME A FEW DEAR FRIENDS,
NOT ALL THAT'S FOR SURE,
IF I FAILED TO LIST YOU DON'T GET ME WRONG,
BUT THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH POETRY YALL CAN ENDURE,
AND THIS WOULD BE 2 MILLION WORDS LONG.
AXEMAN WAS THE FIRST WHEN I CAME ONLINE DURING OUTPOST'S HOUR,
AND I LAUGHED OT LOUD AT HIS ALIEN SCARE,
I CHATTED UNTIL I WAS WAY TOO TIRED,
BUT SEMPY WOULD COME BACK THERE.
THEY CLOSED DOWN THE OUTPOST CAUSE WE WERE PROFANE,
AND TALKCITY COPPED A TUDE,
MAYBE SEMPY WAS PARTIALLY TO BLAME,
BUT HE SURE WAS A FUNNY DUDE.
WELL MY FRIENDS DISAPPEARED AND I WAS ALONE,
I HAD NO IDEA WHERE THEY'D GONE,
SO I HUNG OT IN THE 32 TO 40 CHAT HOME,
BUT I DIDN'T STAY THERE LONG.
I FOUND THE CASTAWAYS AND A HOBBIT SO DEAR,
I KNEW I HAD FOUND MY PLACE,
I JUST LOVE HOBBITS IS MY MOTTO THERE
SHE IS TRULY A LADY OF GRACE.
PHILBEBEE WELCOMED ME AND WE LAUGHED TILL WE CRIED,
GIVING THE LADIES WHAT THEY NEED,
IN ALL THE FLIRTING WE CONSTANTLY TRIED,
HE WAS ALMOST AS FUNNY AS ME.
LADYTALTOS WHAT CAN I SAY,
THERE IS A CANDLE IN THE WIND,
FOREVER FOR YOU IN SEMPY'S CAFE,
UNTIL
I SEE YOU AGAIN.
MORGY IS CLEVER AND A WOMAN SO WISE,
I AM JUST NOT SURE WHETHER,
LOVING HARLEY'S IS HER ALIBI,
FOR WEARING ALL THAT LEATHER.
MARINA, MY FRIEND, ONCE GAVE ME AN AWARD,
FOR THE FUNNIEST MAN IN CHAT,
SHE'LL NEVER KNOW HOW I LOOK FORWARD
TO SEEING HER AND UPHOLDING THAT.
BABIE DOLL YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
SWEET TO THE SEMPERMAN,
AND ALM IS THE BEST OF MY OLDTIMER FRIENDS,
I HAVE TAUGHT HIM ALL I CAN.
JUNI AND OMY, LIN AND BRIANB
WE HAVE SHARED SO MUCH
I PRAY BEYOND THIS SILLY WEBTV
WE WILL ALWAYS STAY IN TOUCH.
AMYDOG, WITH AUBURN HAIR AND BIG BROWN EYES,
I MET YOU SO LONG AGO,
BUT BLESSED ARE THE CHANGES I NOW REALIZE,
THAT ARE STIRRING MY HEART SO.
DO YALL REMEMBER WHEN WE RAIDED THE BI-SEX CHAT,
BOY DID I TAKE SOME HEAT,
BUT LOOK INTO MY EYES, DO I REGRET THAT,
I'M STILL GETTING MAIL FROM A GUY NAMED PEE.
I WAS ONCE A REVEREND ON LINE
AND MARRIED CHICKI AND BO
I WAS HONORED FOR THAT TIME,
THEY ENTRUSTED ME SO.
CASEY AND CASITY WHAT CAN I SAY
I LOVE YOU GUYS FOR SURE
I KNOW THE LOVE YOU BOTH HAVE FOUND,
WILL ETERNALLY ENDURE.
JEFF, BLACK, NUV AND DAN 486,
MY BUDS WHO OCCASSIONALY SHOW
WE TALK ABOUT LIFE BUT MORE ABOUT SEX, IT'S REALLY ALL WE KNOW.
WE LOST A DER FRIEND TORJOHNSON BY NIC
MAY GOD KEEP HIM SAFE AND TRUE
WE NEVER KNEW HE WAS SO SICK
BUT KNOW WE'RE MISSING YOU.
HIYA HIYA HIYA DEAR,
SHE LIKES TO SEE HER NAME, DON'T YOU
SO I TYPE IT WHEN SHE ENTERS HERE
IF SHE CHANGES HER NIC, I'M SCREWED.
THE LAST I SAW OF SIR BOBBY
HE WAS WAGING A WAR
AGAINST THE EVIL EMPIRE OF TALKCITY
AND EVENING SOME SCORE.
WHISPUR MAKES A BRIEF APPEARANCE,
NOW AND AGAIN,
TEACHING SEMPY TOLERANCE,
LET THE CLASS BEGIN.
DEEANNA IS A POET AND ROMANTIC I KNOW,
THROUGH HER POEMS AND PROSE,
HER HEART HAS TRULY TOUCHED ME SO,
LIKE A CYBERNETIC ROSE.
CAPTAIN IS NEW BUT WE BECAME FAST FRIENDS,
AS HE AND HIS WIFE SET SAIL,
TO THIS MISFIT ISLE, OUR CASTAWAY DEN
TO TELL US ONE OF HIS TALES.
LADYHAWKE SO FAIR AND SO FINE,
THANK GOD I FOUND YOU HERE,
FOR YOU FILLED THIS LONELY HEART OF MINE,
WITH FRIENDSHIP REAL AND DEAR.
CARROTS FROM AUSTRALIA,
I MUST SAY THESE WORDS TO THEE,
G'DAY MATE, GLAD TO KNOW YA
LIKE CROCADILE DUNDEE.
RARE IS THE SPICE_ I HAVE COME TO KNOW
BITTER AND SWEET DELICIOUSLY,
I HAVE NOT SEEN HER FACE ALTHOUGH,
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL TO ME.
ANGRYYOUNGMAN AND HUMMIMG TOO,
BANDIT AND AMETHYST ANGEL AS WELL,
I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU,
AND I NEVER WILL.
THERE ARE SO MANY I HAVE FAILED TO RECALL,
BUT A THIS SONG IS SUNG,
I EMBRACE AND [[[[[[HUG]]]]] YOU ALL,
AND GIVE THE GIRLS SOME TONGUE.
MOST OF YOU HAVE SEEN MY SEMP AND DALE DANCE,
WITH G-STRING AND BOW TIE,
SO IF YOU SEE ME RIPPING OFF MY PANTS,
PLEASE THRO MONEY AS I THRUST BY.
YOU HAVE ALLOWED ME TO SHARE MY ART AND WORDS
AND THANK YOU SEEMS TOO TRITE,
WHEN MY LIFE WAS CRASHING INTO THE ABSURD
YOU HELPED ME THROUGH THE NIGHT.
I WALKED AWAY FROM WEBTV AND SWORE NOT TO RETURN,
I PRAYED FOR WISDOM AS I RECALL,
I DISCOVERED A LESSON LEARNED
WHEN I SURELY MISSED YOU ALL.
SO ALTHOUGH SEMPY IS A LUNATIC
HE'S A LONELY DREAMER TOO
AN ARTIST AND ROMANTIC
JUST THE SAME AS YOU.
I HAVE COME TO REALZE
THE FRIENDS WE MAKE ARE REAL,
WE TALK, WE SHARE, WE SYMPATHIZE,
THROUGH THE TEARS REVELED.
A BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO YOU MY FRIENDS,
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO,
FROM SEMPERFITJ UNTIL THE END
I WILL BE LOVIN' YOU.
AS YOU WIPE THAT TEAR FROM YER FACE,
AND THE CHRISTMAS SNOW MELTS AWAY,
WE'LL MEET ONCE AGAIN IN OUR SPECIAL PLACE,
WITH OTHER CASTAWAYS.
Dedicated to TORJOHNSON.
