Someone Is Wrong On The Internet

Someone Is Wrong
…On The Internet,
And I won’t get to sleep for a while,
Cos I’ll stay up and fight if it takes me all night
When I know I am right and my coffee is strong
Because Someone Is Wrong!
…On The Internet
And the cases they cite are all lame;
I don’t mean to be picky, but hell, it’s not tricky,
Just google or wiki, you’ll see before long
Because Someone Is Wrong!
…On The Internet
And I’m not going to idly sit by!
What he says is a crock! So I’ll teach, tease, or mock
Till my internal clock thinks I live in Hong Kong
Because Someone Is Wrong!
…On The Internet
On a topic of interest to me,
And the rancor’s increased; I’m becoming a beast
And that glow in the East is becoming quite strong
Because Someone Is Wrong!
…On The Internet
Which I’ve stayed up the whole night to say
But his head is cement, and I’ve made not a dent
And one hundred percent of the gathering throng
Says that Someone Is Wrong!
…On The Internet
But it looks like they’re siding with him.
They are here not to cheer for the points I’ve made clear
On this fight I’ve used sheer force of will to prolong
Because Someone Is Wrong!
…On The Internet
It’s beginning to look like it’s me.
I can hardly admit that my logic is shit
But it doesn’t quite fit, ‘less I twist it a bit,
So defeated I sit, at the end of my wit…
Since time will permit, I will land one more hit:
Declare victory, quit, let that be my swan song,
Because Someone Is Wrong!
…On The Internet
Me.

Thanks!

Odd thing is, I had no idea where this one was going when I started it. The structure came to me while driving back from the store yesterday, and I just had fun with it.

Not that it would matter, but Dr. Jay Gordon should be sent a copy of this and instructed to carefully think(HA!) about why someone would send him this.

This is an outstanding post, but that doesn't seem unusual for this blog.

Heh. I'm so enamored of this strip, I named my business after it.

Seriously. I'm the sole proprietor of "Siwoti Systems".

Are you putting your poems together for a book ever? This one is stellar, I have to say.

You have a gift, DC. Truly. I can make rhymes, but man..

I do have a book out (the lulu link on the right sidebar), but am hoping to have an updated version out in time for Cephalopodmas.

And thanks!
