`Twas Jayjg, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and edit in the diffs: All sysop were the permablocks, And the userboxes tiffs. "Beware the vandalbots, my man! The socks that write, the trolls that catch! Revere the arbcom nerds, and ban The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his barnstar then in hand: Each newbie then he wikistalked -- So jousted he with meatpuppetry, He disambigged, he blocked. And, as in mergist thought he stood, The vandalbot, with three reverts, Came wikifying through the wood, With fancruft in its skirts! One, two! One, two! And through and through His POV went snicker-snack! He left a stub, and with his club He went galumphing back. |

Hard to follow a bit. I also don't know what the wikipedia lexicon project is.
I'm not one to evaluate poetry. Maybe somehere on this forum is knowledgeable at poetry, maybe they studied it, maybe they if asked can make a List of a their favorite Poets. |

OK, in no particular order:William Wordsworth John Milton W B Yeats Robert Louis Stevenson Alfred Tennyson Lewis Carroll William Blake W H Davies Rudyard Kipling John Masefield Cue - long thread rubbishing some of these names and adding others? But please, don't mention Rosemary Tonks.  |

Surely it should be : "And, has thou slain the evil sock? Then I declare you to be sysop! Ban away! Ban today!' Welcome to Wikipedia world....."  |

The wiki is lonely, dark and deep.
But I have my POV to keep. And socks to block before I sleep. And socks to block before I sleep. |

Not a great poem in its own right, but a fair parody of the original and a valid criticism of Wikipedia. Well said. It was written last night in a spasm of whimsy, and I'm not sure that it can be called a fair parody of the original, because parts of it actually make sense. It was unavoidable. But then again, maybe the fact that it makes just a bit of sense does make it a parody. At any rate, I do not expect that this exploit is enough to get me Poetlisted.

Around here, that's like shining the Bat Signal above the Gotham City skyline.  |
