There once was a 'Coward on slashdot Shallow end of the gene pool's own mascot He scoffed at new fame Without even a name Green with envy of poet's quick upshot
There once was a poster of nonsense In his limerick, Nantucket not referenced In a move sure to please Local authorities Sought to revoke his poetic license
There once was a crippled old captain Yes or no, he'd say by contraption Imagine his shock When abducted by Spock If he could, he'd say "Damn that sly Vulcan!"
There once was a prose-writing man Who tried lim'ricks to please all his fans His spirit was moved At least one had approved Cracks the bud, smiles in thanks, shakes his hand
There once was an impatient poster He cried out "That haiku's not kosher!" The rest of us pounced His poor ego was trounced Maybe next time he'll look a bit closer
There posts our Signal 11 He cares not that a haiku has rhythm He wants ref'rence to season If I only had reason "Ode to bitchslap in springtime": Quite humdrum!
There once was a slahshdot request A new haiku rejoicing success Last night life, so sweeten'd Many hats would be eaten 2 point postings, I must now confess

Slashdot Mirror
Naturalism
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Where is Reinvest?
StarOffice Windows
Desktop changed, start menu whacked
App? No, new OS.
There once was a man named Maloney
His console competed with Sony
But the box never ships
Couldn't make his own chips
"The PlayStation open? Baloney!"
Installing Grape 6
Processor of gravity
Quake sure feels real now
Off-topic? Bullcrap
Some moderate smoking crack
This post is valid
There once was President Miguel
Costa Ricans thought he was just swell
That is, 'til his plan
"Connect all in the land!"
The provider he chose: AOL
Moderators heed
Don't elect away these words
My verse can ring true
There once was a 'Coward on slashdot
Shallow end of the gene pool's own mascot
He scoffed at new fame
Without even a name
Green with envy of poet's quick upshot
There once was a poster of nonsense
In his limerick, Nantucket not referenced
In a move sure to please
Local authorities
Sought to revoke his poetic license
There once was a crippled old captain
Yes or no, he'd say by contraption
Imagine his shock
When abducted by Spock
If he could, he'd say "Damn that sly Vulcan!"
Lightsaber in hand
Leap and slash like a Jedi
Hide broken heirlooms
There once was a prose-writing man
Who tried lim'ricks to please all his fans
His spirit was moved
At least one had approved
Cracks the bud, smiles in thanks, shakes his hand
Ev'ry thought express'd
In poetic verse or prose
Annoys you like hell
There once was an impatient poster
He cried out "That haiku's not kosher!"
The rest of us pounced
His poor ego was trounced
Maybe next time he'll look a bit closer

Torture, agony, and grief
Files scream, deleted
There posts our Signal 11
He cares not that a haiku has rhythm
He wants ref'rence to season
If I only had reason
"Ode to bitchslap in springtime": Quite humdrum!
Object Orient
You, too, can program in Pike
Its not just a stick
Hark, one more language
A powerful new system
Named after a fish
British Linux show
Penguin-fest across the sea
Now invade Europe!
There once was a slahshdot request
A new haiku rejoicing success
Last night life, so sweeten'd
Many hats would be eaten
2 point postings, I must now confess
Off-topic? Not I
Moderate moderation
For the posts are apt
There once was Anonymous Coward
Thought Five Seven Five dumb as a mallard
He replied with a smile
"I rhyme once in a while!
Free haikus, you want more? Show me dollars!"
Perhaps I will stop
Then again I may go on
Both are good choices
Microsoft stays here
Aussies mired in censorship
NASA sells pictures
