`Twas Freepthon, and the VanityPosts
Were sidebarred into the chattyroom pot.
The servers churnt, the n00bs were toast,
And the Admins KittyZot.

"Beware the HumbleGumby, my son!

The text that rages, the phrases that bit!
Beware the albaby beeber of stune,
And the sleaxy Lazamataz hit."

He took his 'board and mouse in hand
Long time the irrascid foe he sought,
So rested he by the BreakinBar,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in moddish thought he read,
The HumbleGumby, with words of flame,
Came churling through the blarzly thread,
And yarbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The posty blasts went flamy-smack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went triumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the HumbleGumby??
Come to my arms, my troobish noll!
O Freeptious day! JimRob! JohnRob!'
He chortled in his joy.

`Twas Freepthon, and the VanityPosts
Were sidebarred into the chattyroom pot.
The servers churnt, the n00bs were toast,
And the Admins KittyZot.

[golux]

Well done! You've eaten every one.

[TexasCajun]

Well, at least you didn't post an excerpt from your blog! hehe

[MHGinTN]

Oh yeah Oh yeah OH YEAH!

[thackney]

Involving humblegunner in poetry made lead to insulting and vulgar limericks.

You have been warned...

BWAHAHAHAHA!! Laz... you are amazing! When I read, “Now, go be nice to people”... Iced tea shot right out of my nose. You’re a hoot!

[mrs. a]

I never irked a humble gun,
I never had to flee one.
But I can tell you anyhow,
I’d rather blog than be one.

I know...pretty lame...

[Lazamataz]

okay, i officially have a crush on you now, Laz (blushes)

Wonderful! I'll be over tomorrow to smack that. :)

[Lazamataz]

I dunno. Not all that lame. Anyone who satirizes Purple Cow, ain't all bad.

There's a followup to Purple Cow, BTW.

Ah, yes, I wrote the "Purple Cow"—
I'm Sorry, now, I wrote it;
But I can tell you Anyhow
I'll Kill you if you Quote it!

[SunkenCiv]

Laz, we do not know of the “controversy” of late involving the dear HG (other than what we already know of his—ahem—bless his heart—nature), but this is fabulous what you wrote!

Jabberwockey is an old favorite, and you nailed the spirit of it! Brilliant, bravo! And HAHAHAHA!!!

Once there was a lad named Laz,
Not good in sports, a bit of a spaz.
But in matters of rote,
He was worthy of note.
Humor with a dollop of pizzaz.

[Lazamataz]

It’s only fair I ping ya. You are mentioned in HumbleGumby, above.

[rabidralph]

Simply coleridgeish! Awesome job.

[Lazamataz]

LOL

And thanks, SunkenCiv.
