- Oh, that I would, like Spencer
write stanzas of perfect meter
on my three eighty-six computerI'm a lurker it is true
are you a lurker too?
Nah. Just a techno-junkie
wanting to wax erudite
or even sometimes brightAlas, I am not of your class
nor of your internet station
I meekly lurk in yon ether
of pixels and pixiesNot for you the flaming sword
To cast out the malcontent's words
Instead you wield the power of Pentium
And your fingers glide across the keysPrecious forests remain safe
from the bombardment of your bombast
that brashly blasts and befuddles
the fragile minds of the listservand your words fill the screen
and your words fill the screen
after screen after screen
after screen after screenThou art the great niggler
the noble pontificating scholar
with significant catch-phrases
of IMHO and BTW that only other
techno-junkies understand
In My Humble Opinion
By The Wayand your words fill the screen
and your words fill the screenOh, most venerable scholar
of the ether-netGet a life
