"This aught to be good."

You mean "ought".

The decade of the aughts is over.

Aught

This is the decade of the aughts, a decade of contention.
And not for nothing, I point out, aught was a great invention.
Aught’s not often talked about, but for the network lad,
Who’d aught to say of it, except that it was bad.

Computer guys think well of it, and use it happily,
Without the zero in its place, just where then would one be?
And aught we ought to have to say, to those who wish us ill,
For fraught with consequences is the case, when aughts are in the bill!

Afternoon, everyone. Frank and I had a nap. No catz, though; don’t know where they went.

I need to order cleaning supplies and then make a bowl of mush for Frank.
