Nettiquette (A Deconstructive Poem by HFB)
gratuitous bad language
these plain expletives are unabridged
repetitive in their knee-jerk use
fuck the insults
let's go straight to abuse
let me identify myself by name
it should be clear why i'm here
no questions about from where i came
IN COMPARISON TO THIS ONE
THOSE LAST THREE BLEW
IT'S GABRIEL, BY THE WAY
WHO ARE YOU
it moves with a slow, careful grace
i'm sure you can smell it
go ahead take a taste
IN COMPARISON TO THOSE FEW
THIS IS SOMETHING NEW
NOW THERE ARE A FEW THINGS I OBJECT TO
first one of course
those pesky flame wars
NO ROOM FOR MORE
second one is hypocracy
i don't give a fuck about rules
but you had them posted on your own message board
fool
if you disagree with yourself
man those aren't my troubles
but if you disagree with someone else
you need to handle it before it grows stubble
and walks out on its own
to stomp through someone elses poems
and make a mess of someone else's thrones
'cause we all know where you make your home
third is the petty pity
i feel it genuinely
i've never seen someone else--
take the bait quicker than me
but you can't stop me
here it is
the fourth
bringing my advice
of course
stopping this thread to take a quiz
wouldn't be right
so i'll pretend you asked
get a day job
and give this bullshit some rest
if you don't want another attack
you should act like a guest
