I correspond by email with someone who overuses the Urgent flag. Her messages are never, ever urgent, no more urgent than anyone else’s, anyway.
So today I had a bit of bad news for her.
And I marked it Urgent.
It felt so good. So good it needs an haiku.
Your urgent emails
Ricocheting back on you
Petarded hoisting

Request read receipt:
Tch, could you BE more needy?
The power is mine!
Here’s my thesaurus;
You don’t know what “Urgent” means.
Please, look it up, dear.
Daily dilemmaNow what does petarded mean?Thanks, dictionary
Petarded hoisting. I am adding that to my repertory stat.
But what I love best?…is the *bow*!
I just overcame my aversion to the apostrophe-deficient Visitors Map and discovered that I’m not a Big Dot at all, I’m a Big Square! That’s much less cool!
Dot – “Big Square” is so 60s. Big Dot is very cool. 😉
Big Dot – Sister-in-law sends even personal mail read receipt. Tch indeed.Tami – She says urgent messages go to the top of the list so they are never ignored even if the reader has 300 mails a day. Still gsalling..75 – Petarded is really IN the dictionary? (Damn – looked it up – it was on Family Guy.)Magpie – Relief. No one thought I was mis-typing the R word.Erin G. – *blows kisses*Big Dot – graphically, it’s too hard to make a 2 pixel by 2 pixel circle. 3 – Well, I will leave you two alone.
I’m with Erin. The *bow* is the icing on the cake, as if ‘Petarded hoisting’ hadn’t given me enough of a giggle fit…and the delicious confluence of e-mail, haiku, and Shakespeare – *wipes eyes*. You do rock, you know?
Queen – Actually I couldn’t find it but I had already written the haiku. 🙁
Since a petard is an explosive, I just figured that petarded was poetic license.
You know, what with this being an actual poem and all.
This is really unhealthy, yanno.
Mare – *covers ears and looks away*.75 – Now that’s poetic license.Tami – Without you I could never have spelled “license.”3 – No! I embrace it!
