Goofing off with my boss

Have I told you how I'll be out this week?

An early set, we start at EIGHT.

Next week's A-Kon. I'll be out
Goofing off with anime.
It's just one week you'll be without.
I shall return, or so they say.

A follow-up to follow along to at 9

We'll continue our jazz theme
Maht started tonight
I'll take over Velvet's stream
And play for your delight.

Clever for clever's sake at nine

Won or lost, the margin's thin.
To those that never play the game,
(Three, sadly, has no homonym)
For in the end, it's all the same.

I promise, no "Star Wars" music at nine

Christ almighty, it's May Forth.
This year is flying by, ya know.
(Yes, Jedi day, now known henceforth.
Here's how I feel about that. NO.)
