Subject:Administrivia Friday Poem Fest
From:Stephen Steele
Date:Fri, 19 Dec 2008 00:57:19 -0500

Freeform:
Jim quits.
Now what.
Will the inmates rule?

The Limerick:
Whether Coyote, Tom C. or Jim
the talk is always about "him".
We all love the Van.
No matter the Man.
Now, I thinks it's all about trim.
OR
There once was a Man named Arnott
The No Van posts and trim he fought,
The flame wars he'll review,
And subscriptions renew.
But  Moderate, he thinks NOT!

The Haiku(rhymed):
Friday is now here.
NVC is now less clear.
How can the Man steer?

The Haiku(traditional, unrhymed):
"I quit", says Jim A.
"Your work is valued", say we.
Says he, "I'll do flames".

The English Sonnet: (With apologies to Bill S and his Sonnet No. 116)
Let us not to non-Vanagon opine
Admit digressions, love is not love
Which alters Van content to find,
Or bends with the remover, remove.
Oh no, it is a never fixed mark
That looks on threads and posts n'er shaken;
It is the subject, VANS ONLY, Admin's bark,
What fools we are whose course are taken.
The Posts are writ and replies we sneak
Without regard to top post or trim,
We post and post and Posts we tweak,
Think not of the Man  the Admin:
If this be error,and upon me be proved,
I never writ, nor no Van be loved.
