Pig Lint Hit
My blog is narcissistic, though its readers, voyeuristic,
Have a solipsistic tendency to bend an argument
into a pretzel-mocking tangle of inferior surmise.
Yet I'm wise to every angle--tell the freepers to relent
and they must repay with interest all the meaning that I've lent
My mood is apathetic, though my readers, sympathetic,
Give an energetic meaning to my preening and my fluff
Which does nothing to diminish my regard for those who lie
When writing, start to finish, of the marvels of their day
All it takes is a keyboard and a willingness to bray.
My words are half-psychotic, though my readers, idiotic,
So my jingoistic pedantry is music to their ears
"Have you recently updated?" cried the forums as they grated
On our stressed nerves with raucous screams and vociferous protests
Blognews is really bad for cages and much worse for lining nests.
In the end, despite their dissing, all my critics I'm dismissing
'Cause their scansion is atrocious as new Spoonbill'ers, precocious
