ChatterWocky

(... with apologies to Lewis Carroll)

'Twas brillig, and the noisy tykes
Did rant and gibber in the chat:
The screen awash with bile and tripe,
(and badly spelled... at that).

"Beware the ChatterWock, my friend!
The words that sting,
the taunts that catch!
Beware the Nuke-Puke's vile abuse:
...install the Windows patch."

He took his Vorpal keys in hand:
Long time the noxious foe he sought-
So rested he by the Grendel tree...
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The ChatterWock, with eyes of flame,
Came oozing through the chatroom door,
And slobbered as it came!

One, two! plonk! plonk! And through and through
The vorpal keys went click and clack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the ChatterWock?
Come to my arms, my Nornish boy!
Em foo dat! Oogh Boop! Doh plah doh!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the nasty twits
Did chirp and jabber in the chat:
My screen no longer fills with junk...
".ignore" takes care of that.
