Bloggerwocky

Since our faithful audience has been waiting, for over 10 days, with breathless anticipation, for the next Choultry installment; and since one is exhausted from various inter-city travels, and governmental travails, the faithful audience will have to chew on this one for a few days. The present work is, of course, a parody of a slightly better and more famous one. Others have tried similar variations on a theme by C.L.Dodgson. This opus is a slight modification of an hitherto published (online) work about something else, so if you've read it before, you know where.

Bloggerwocky

'Twas onetyone, and the idle crowds
Did blather and babble at blogger.com;
All worked up and clamouring aloud,
Venting their spleen in every form.

"Beware the Bloggerwock, my friends!
Mind full o' stuff, with time on hand!
Beware these cranky ladies and gents,
And shun those psychos numerous as sand!"

He took his grimy keyboard in lap;
Long time the Ctrl-Alt-Del he sought--
So rested he with his Windows NT,
And sat awhile in thought.

And, as in cyber-thought he sat,
The Muse of Blog, that has no name,
Came screeching to this jobless brat,
And expounded forth as it came!

Clip-clop! Clip-clop! And without a stop,
His fingers o'er the keyboard danced!
He clicked on "Send", and in the end
Stood up and like a madman pranced.

"And hast thou read the Bloggerwock?
Come to my arms, my demented chum!
Oh joyous day! Hip-hip! Hooray!
We have a new member in the asylum!"

'Twas onetyone, and the idle crowds
Did blather and babble at blogger.com;
All worked up and clamouring aloud,
Venting their spleen in every form.
