Ponder This

Alas! Alack! Oh, woe is me!
I am in Mohit Misery.

I spent good money on a book
of poems without a preview look

then found, when I had ope'd it up
row after row of silly coup-

lets, half of which don't scan
(though the poet gets a rhyme in whenever he can)

while the other half make zero sense;
a carpark often has a fence.

In life there's many a tragedy,
but none like Mohit Misery.

I'll even pray to heaven, please
relieve us from Mo Miseries.

I don't want to dox the guy, but I see Corey's already done that. So,
first: it's about this "Mohit Mis--" who'd published a chapbook and was
spamming ads for it all over usenet, including groups where he was being
begged and flamed to stop.

So I spent a month doing some kook-busting. I wrote this poem as a copy
of his style. Then I began daily searching usenet for his spam (in those
days, it was possible to search usenet, not just one group, using
google), and post my poem as a reply to his ads. It did put an end to
them, and a few people thanked me for it.

Second: it went into the April section of "Doggerel," which you may
remember me talking about posting into aapc this year. That's been a bit
derailed, and I welcome the chance to get back to it.

Third: this was a good way to get back to the above project, due to the
ongoing discussion of how and when to use the word "Alas" making it
suddenly relevant. Notice how my use tells the reader, right up front,
that it's a comic poem.

Pity you couldn't have a adopted a similar tack with regard to Will Donkey's spam.

Oh... that's right... you published it.

Are you denying you wrote that?

You just repeated it nearly word for word.

How can you lie about something when the evidence is quoted in the same post?

which happens when you don’t use words correctly,

I’m spamming a link to the subjected book,
because Spam-I-Am, and spam is what I do:

I edit lies and misrepresentations from posts I make because I don't see any reason to repeat them.

I've always done this and always will because I see it as a step in setting the record straight.

HTH and HAND.

The reason to repeat them is to demonstrate respect,

“Thanks again for posting this” doesn’t apply, since there was no prior thanks,
but “Thanks for posting this again” does, since the link was posted previously.
