Mock on, Dank Raven
By Poe Etiquette
Au contraire, Voltaire Rousseau
You mock the stalk that still doth grow
By stooping to its sacrilege
You make yourself a mirror image
By bland attacks that lack the facts
Written hastily and lax
Your words fall silently; invisibly
Influence not the words of me
Formed boldly in a caps lock tone
Your doctrine nurses you, alone
Apply thy verses to thy state
This pompous spirit, satiate
Apply thy wisdom to thy pen
And wisdom may be born, again
But still your words of tactless charm
Fail to extract a mite of harm
Unauthorized Copying Is Prohibited.
Ask the author first.

I don't know what's going on but I gather there was DP spat somewhere. It doesn't matter. It is always a pleasure and privelege to read something that's tight with rhyme and meter. Especially when there's a lace of sweet venom in every line.

As opposed as I am to this seemingly endless volley of insults, this one actually took some modicum of effort and intellect. I would stir up some relevant debate on this matter, but I just managed to crawl out of the fire, so I'll just acknowledge this piece and leave it at that.
