- I am deeply touched, and can hardly wait for the next 317 parts! Even
- better than the soap operas.
-
- I will therefore answer this call to words with my own, though humble:
-
- "Ode To A Matt"
-
- The Matt he sits
- in raven's peace
- with withered wits
- and PC-lease
-
- He clampers hard
- on keys of sweet
- He is a bard
- from Evermeet
-
- He lost his soul
- to inter-fame
- throws lusers foul
- to crests of flame
-
- In castle high
- of pyro-proof
- the night is nigh
- and all aloof
-
- Of common sense
- he knoweth not
- his words are tense
- his views are hot
-
- Without the fear
- without the wane
- Computer gear
- and mind insane
-
- Hacking still
- in dark of night
- he has his will
- without a fight
-
- But lusers growl
- they still prevail
- one can but scowl
- and turn one's tail
-
- The faceless hordes
- of shitty stuff
- they shall be bored
- by fancy fluff
-
- Their lives so drab
- they cannot see
- beyond their Saab (sorry about that)
- the lands of Free
-
- The bits and bytes
- or better yet,
- Men with the scythes
- on Internet!
