A summertime, "PMS and Forumites"

I think it's about time for this again...adjusted for the season of course!

PMS and Forumites (a work in progress)

(done to the rhythm of "A Night Before Christmas")

T'was a month in the Summer
And all through the net
Controversy was building
Tempers were put to the test

The forumites were stirring
All smug in their views
Inane and extreme posts
Flowed fast and flowed loose.

The rain kept-a-fallin'
'cept where temperatures were extreme
Keeping many from riding
their glorious machines.

The admins all hustled
From one board to 'nuther
Whacking some posts
And editing some others

Explaining the rules
For the ten-thousandth time
It's not that complex
What's wrong with these guys?

PM'ing each other
Now what the heck's up
Oh crap, not him again
Will that guy ever shut up?

Now Jesus! Now Odin! Now Hillary! Now Nixon! (Nixon? WTF?)
Democrats! Republicans! It's Obama! "We're smitten!"

"You've got the wrong oil!" "You mentioned your god!"
"They're trashing the cars!" "And you ride a hog!"

"I'll buy you a beer if I don't kill you first."
"Hey I don't even ride!" "Hey don't post those girls!"

What's wrong with these guys?
Well the problem's well known
Just exactly like last year

It's Parked Motorcycle Syndrome.

It's a bit early this year.
But the problem's the same.
Given time and some posts,
Some go completely insane.

So what do we do
For this seasonal ill?
Do we ban? Do we cancel? Do we change? Do we kill?

"Let's vote" scream the few
"Let's quit" says another
"Let's all praise the admins"
Says one enthusiastic brother

Civility and restraint would calm this with reason
"But I've got a point to prove! And hey, tis the season!"

"I'll post and I'll post till with sweat my brow glistens"
Tis sad folks don't realize,
When they scream, no one listens.

"Off –topic should go elsewhere"
Says part of the hoard
"But," groans the admin,
"It's the off-topic board!"

And the admin from Okie
Put's his head down a bit
"Don't these guys realize
I don't get paid for this sh!t?"

As for this boy from Texas
Does he have any advice?
Well yeah, ya durn fools!
Just try to be nice!

Don't like a topic?
Don't check out that note
There's plenty to read
That won't get your goat

Ticked off 'bout that guy?
Gonna give him what-for?
Calm yourself a moment
There's no need to roar.

I'll leave you with this
'Cause I'm all out of rhymes

Happy summer to all
Now SHUT UP AND RIDE!

Interesting....Daniel creates this post shortly after having visited the "Should we eliminate political posts" thread. I wonder if they are possibly related...Hmmmmmmmm!!
