Mac Soda

Do not read this post unless you are equipped to handle the ultimate in fanboy material. Mac Soda Drinker Jacqueline submitted a poem parodying Lord Alfred Tennyson’s Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal. The parody is regarding how slow the news is right now in the Apple Blogosphere. Read on if you can bear it.

Now Sleeps the Apple Blogs

Now sleeps MacRumors, now 9 to 5 Mac;
Nor types John Gruber in the dreary grey blog of his;
Nor posts the Unofficial Apple Weblog, nor doth the Mac Soda font bubble forth:
The iCEO sleepeth: we sleepeth with him.

Now droops the holiday season like a ghost,
And like a ghost she scares away all Apple news.

Now lies the time all depart their macs,
And all men’s heart lies spent with family.

Now sleeps the Apple blogs, and leaves
All the readers, and thy clicking on Google Ads as well.

Soon folds the season all her jolliness up,
And slips into the beginning of the new year:
So fold thyself, oh December, thou, and slip
Into January’s MacWorld and bring readers back to me.
