- I know this isn't a general humor NG, but I like this one enuf that I
- had to post it somewhere. Alas I don't have the original author...
-
-
- I shot a query into the net.
- I haven't got an answer yet,
- But seven people gave me hell
- And said I ought to learn to spell;
-
- A posted message called me rotten
- For ignoring mail I'd never gotten;
- An angry message asked me, Please
- Don't send such drivel overseas;
-
- A lawyer sent me private mail
- And swore he'd slap my ass in jail --
- I'd mentioned Un*x in my gem
- And failed to add the T and M;
-
- One netter thought it was a hoax:
- "Hereafter, post to net dot jokes!";
- Another called my grammar vile
- And criticized my writing style.
-
- Each day I scan each Subject line
- In hopes the topic will be mine;
- I shot a query into the net.
- I haven't got an answer yet ...
