    To the Tune of Henry The Eighth (Herman's Hermits)

    I'm posting the first I am
    Posting the first I am I am
    I got FP in the story before
    I've been modded many times before

    And every time by an imbecile (IMBECILE!)
    Usin' words like VAXen and GNU (FUCK GNU!)
    Cause they hate to stop their circle jerks
    To hear me say FUCK YOU! (FUCK GNU!)

    Second Verse is Different than the first:

    I'm YourMissionForToday I am
    Two posts a day is where I stand
    Can't leave my wit at a high threshold
    Cause I post links to a certain hole

    I get modded down due to jealousy (JEALOUSY!)
    'Coz they wouldn't know wit from their ass! (FUCK THAT!)
    I bathe, I can spell, and I'm employed!
    I'm YourMissionForToday I am!
