Isle of Misfits and Trolls Lament
(I hang out a bit on Craigslist, and they have a feature where posts that violate the forums Terms of Use (TOU) can be flagged by the community of users and removed. But rather than actually delete them, the posts are relocated to a special discard forum known as “The Isle of Misfits.” As you can imagine, some of the worst postings imaginable can be found there. Below is a poem I wrote after I had visited the Isle looking for some posts that had been deleted.
huh? what-the-fuck? how did my post end up here?
obama was winning,
kucinich was grinning,
yes, from ear to pointy ear
i was flaming the pol forum like a huckabee volunteer
my grey handles mocking
there was nothing in your xmas stocking
i was a troll clearly without peer!
my post was the best one this year!
gay bashining,
talk trashing,
-150 proved everyone found it quite dear!
now some lame asses have flagged it, it’s clear
you know what i say to flagging?
it’s done by lamers with tits dragging
the TOU is for people who drink near beer!
but at least there’s one thing to cheer
the long thread that was forming
of green handles quite charming
i’ve dragged you all to hell in one smear!
so this is how i start off the new year
my posts disappearing
to the isle’s lonely clearing
my zingers took a really bad veer
who else will i find in this sphere?
hmmm…
