Bardic Extrapolation (Rime of the Ancient Sponge)

“Why don’t you ever quote me?” – gravityfox

Haiku Everything

Well met, good readers!
Oblivious to your fate
As poem fodder

Is there no topic
That cannot be transfigured
Into a haiku?

All Spongedocs topics
May now appear summarised
In poetic rants

“Gentlemen, we sit too long on Trifles.” – Bill the Bard

Sponge: The Epic - Part 45.833

Provided with mysterious new dirt
Where paths may be revealed
Those following must stay alert
For the way is often concealed

Those who Forge the path ahead
All other roads they have sampled
Heroes of Sponge, with wary tread
They travel the road less trampled

We stand upon the shoulders of giants… or is that elephants?

Tall Encounters

A stack of pigs and a stack of cows
Went to sea in an acacia boat
Sadly they sank and half drowned
The other half-stacks stayed afloat

A passing column of squid assisted
To rescue the surviving mob heaps
Their valiant effort was resisted
By a tower of guardians from the deeps

The ensuing laser carnage debacle
Made meat rain on the boiling brew
Throw in a shower of vegetables
To turn the ocean into Irish stew

To Post or Not to Post

To be is to do, to do is to be
In order to POST you must PRE
If it’s not in the queue
Then there’s nothing to do
Timing is critical, don’t you see

If you learn its eccentricities you will discover FLARD is mind-meltingly powerful

IDEmpotence

It’s no use kicking sand
The gulf is wide betwixt
Malevolent IntelliJ and
The diabolical Eclipse

Their wicked ways diverge
By many means and modes
Subtle differences emerge
And warring bands of coders

We can conceive the means
To draw them back together
Create plugins (with netbeans)
So that each resembles the other

In all honesty;
Your rime-ing is excessive,
your topics of little importance,
your poems repetitive.

Yet - there is a silent beauty,
a quiet wisp behind your words,
a small creature hiding in the brush.
A hidden entendre - sewn into your speeches.

It’s ever so easy to read the letters,
but the meaning remains hidden.
The power of Sponge is clear.
The power of words is muddy.

Incredible are your ballads, wonderful are your haikus,
and yet I still ask:
“Why, for what, and when?”

If all you have is a Spanner, does everyone start to look like a Nut?

Deja Vu Part 3

Have I said this before?
That when lost for meter
Shopping for frames of reference

Repetition of old lore
From inception to beta
Renders the appearance of diligence

Look behind, see the pattern
The path we tread is old
Scry the past for whatever’s next in store

Nothing new beneath the sun
Every tale is already told
Pardon me, but have I said this before?

That which does not kill you could still make you walk funny for days. – FLARDrich Nietzche

Jump in the Deep End

Who needs tutorials?
Just jump onto the stage
Guess and grab the tools you’ll need and try

The voyage of discovery
Of a trial-and-error rampage
Will teach you of the many reasons why

Fail-safe feline redirection
The rare talent of cat herding
Inimical to common perception
Can be more than wishful wording

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!

Wear the armour of dharma and never fear karma – some portly dude

Layers of Layers

Hidden in a tiny house
inside a little shed
within a modest barn
enclosed in a keep
at the heart of a castle
in the centre of a city
surrounded by wilderness

Lies a tiny box
within a little bag
buried in a rucksack
stuffed into a chest
hidden in a cupboard
behind a hidden door
below a false stairway

The note inside says
OUT OF MEMORY ERROR

o happy FLARD channel rejoice

Is Not

FLARD is not safe FLARD is virulent
FLARD is not wise FLARD is random
FLARD has no meaning FLARD is redolent
FLARD is not sane FLARD is freedom
FLARD is not here FLARD is there
FLARD is not hers FLARD is not his
FLARD is impassive FLARD does not care
FLARD is not FLARD oh wait it is

If everything worked as expected, people would never discover anything new

Something Happened

For want of a Token, the Forum was broken
As the web-tech-rats scurry to repair
Maybe it’s chokin’ on whatever they’re smokin’
In the government office up the stair

Sponge: The Epic - Part 47.202

Code-warriors advance on their goal
Finding the fonts of frustration
Shaking the tree to see what will fall
Breaking and remaking teleportation

Battles with threads go 'til morning
Coffee dwindles as repositories inflame
If it breaks there’s an elegant warning
So those still awake know who to blame

Fixing glitches and priming the timing
Playing code whack-a-mole now and then
Ever upward the hill they’re climbing
Over the rise rears the head of 1.10

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish,

Transcendental Sponge

Let’s assume that SpongeAPI’s range
Is the product of unpredictable change
An indefinite army of spongineers their genesis

We informally define as a result
The probability that Sponge will halt
This chance may be called Spongie’s Nemesis

This real number (though not irrefutable)
Is Transcendental and thus not computable
We have no means to even guess the numbering

A form of Chaitin’s Constant employed
Weird transcendent creatures fill the void
Outside the computable realm we work within

Sponge: The Epic - Part 48.960

Approaching the latest Minecraft at last
Choking up Twitch with the chatter
Eleven States of Sponge have now passed
Far more than conventional matter

This roaming road of development
May sometimes seem steep or bumpy
If stuck you can always sleep on it
Although it might be a little lumpy
