PMS

[helicopterjim R.I.P.]

I borrowed this from another forum but I can't find out who the author is so - Thank You - whoever you are!!

 

PMS and Forumites (a work in progress)

 

Twas the month before Christmas

And all through the net

Controversy was building

Tempers put to the test

 

The forumites were stirring

All smug in their views

Inane and extreme posts

Flowed fast and flowed loose.

 

The admins all hustled

From one board to ‘nuther

Whacking some posts

And editing some others

 

Explaining the rules

For the ten-thousandth time

It’s not that complex

What’s wrong with these guys?

 

Cruising the posts

Now what the heck’s up?

Oh crap, not him again

Will that guy ever shut up?

 

Now Obama! Now Bush! Now Gingrich! Now Clinton!

On Jesus! On Odin! On Santorum! On Nixon! (Nixon? WTF?)

 

“You’ve got the wrong oil!” “You mentioned your god!”

“Your friends talk too much!” “You ride a hog!”

 

“I’ll buy you a beer if I don’t kill you first.”

“Hey I don’t even ride!” “Hey I hate your shirts!”

 

What’s wrong with these guys?

Well the problem’s well known

Just exactly like last year

 

It’s Parked Motorcycle Syndrome.

 

So what do we do for this seasonal ill?

Do we ban? Do we cancel? Do we change? Do we kill?

 

“Let’s vote” scream the few

“Let’s quit” says another

“Let’s all praise the admins”

Says one enthusiastic brother

 

On every topic some “experts” must post

Intent to divide, and a post count to make most.

“This’ll make these guys riled, regardless of merit

Wait, no one’s arguing? I MUST dangle this carrot!”

 

Civility and restraint would calm this with reason

“But I’ve got a point to prove! And hey, tis the season!”

 

“Shut up all you guys!” say some, “I’ll take my ball and go home!”

Feeding the trolls they are, the equivalent of filet mignon.

 

“Off –topic should go elsewhere”

Screams part of the hoard

“But,” groans the admin,

“It’s the off-topic board!”

 

And the admins stare dumfounded

And put their head down a bit

“Don’t these guys realize

We don’t get paid for this sh!t?”

 

As for this boy from Texas

Does he have any advice?

Well yeah, ya durn fools!

Just try to be nice!

 

Don’t like a topic?

Don’t check out that note

There’s plenty to read

That won’t get your goat

 

Ticked off ‘bout that guy?

Gonna give him what-for?

Calm yourself a moment

There’s no need to roar.

 

I’ll leave you with this

‘Cause right now I’m fried

 

Merry Christmas to all

Now SHUT UP AND RIDE!
