Round about the newsgroup go,
    In the reeking ravings throw;
Tinpot fuehrer's frothing rot,
    Ego of a Bassior-bot,
Pervo YingYang and his troops,
    Trolling in a dozen groups,
S****ger's babble, Eggy's whine,
    Canard's canine snarling "Mine,"
Fundy's rant and spammer's lie,
    I know you are, but what am I?

<etc.>
