An Ode To Morse !!!

An Ode To Morse !!!

Mr Morse Mr Morse Mr Morse,

Your invention you reckon,  an infallible force ..

Dots and dashes was all your source,

Simply spectacular feat of course;

A time when in use was the pigeon,

Physical delivery, the other option..

Communication failure often a fashion,

Many a faces lit with your invention;

Dadid dadid dada  dada diddid,

A code or  musical note .. tell me ye kid..

Gen X always candid, said what I dread,

Pardon Oh Lord,  they know not what they said;

Wind, rain or scorching Sun,

Be it any stormy season..

Desert mountain or furious ocean,

You sure been there with great passion;

Where Angels feared as they trode,

V U or plain HF you simply rode..

Equally robust, any other mode,

Secured ideed when you chose their abode;

Survival of fittest a brutal mantra of this age,

You spanned two centuries in full glare  unfaze,..

From a no-tech age to fully techno lineage,

You proved saviour when all else under carnage;

In battle in blood, while on date with the bullet,

God sent messenger, You there in fraction of minute..

Power you carried, moved brigade, squadron or frigate,

Win or lose,  your choice  the mandate;

Morse the saviour whenever a disaster,

As Ocean turns devastator, earth quake multiple killer..

When life hangs in balance, oh! My dear,

Ask an SOS keying Ham operator;

Your codes they fed, read n earned their bread,

You, a source of many a livelihood..

In mansions, CTOs world over stood,

Speak volumes how your codes came good;

Bar the Jimmy, bar the press, few know your history,

Ends, not means.. decode this sad mystery;

Through you they shared sweets n pastry,

Or be it death, marking its entry;

You becoming part of folklore,

My heart fills with emotions galore..

This 2013, this July ten plus four,

Adieu, RIP Mr Morse  ... what else can I say any more !
