Something, Something, Something… Nantucket

While making my way home through traffic yesterday, I passed the time by writing a bunch of limericks about the internet.
Because why wouldn’t I?
I knew you’d understand.

 

The grammar-nazi lives on his computer.
From the hip he’s a linguistic sharp-shooter.
He says, “For you words are so hard,
You’re clearly no bard,
You just called a flautist a fluter.”

~~~~~

Gary liked a movie, wrote a positive review.
Trolls just lost their minds. “Hey, that’s not what you do!
You should rip it apart
With all of your heart
And then stomp it to bits with your shoe!”

~~~~~

Autocorrect is a Danger Mouse fling
No, wait, I meant dingy house bling
Golf marble spam it!
Grapple nose ham tit!
How do I turn off this annoying word string?

~~~~~

A terrible danger is writing a blog,
Like choosing a minefield to go for a jog.
All that you say
Is taken the wrong way
By trolls running ’round in an angry fog.

~~~~~

The web’s a big argument machine,
With yeas and nays and all thoughts in between.
You can share a kind post,
A wee jovial boast
And suddenly ev’ryone wants to rip out your spleen.

~~~~~

Trolls say before a movie’s e’en made you should hate it,
There’s absolutely no room allowed to debate it,
Their cyber-lips they will flap,
But they’re just talking crap
Till their great need to make chaos is sated.

~~~~~

I shared a story from my Facebook feed.
“HOMELESS BABIES MUG RHINOS FOR WEED!”
If I’d only checked Snopes
I’d see it’s all full of nopes.
“Stop reposting stupid shit!” people all plead.

~~~~~

Cat pictures, cat pictures, cat pictures,
Politics, hate-rage, more cat pictures
Cute video kids
Lost Kideo vids
A few random puns and more cat pictures.

~~~~~

Eighteen ways to make clickbait work!
Click here if you’re just a dumb jerk.
Number seven will shock you,
Thirteen will rock you,
Isn’t it time that you got back to work?

 

Try to be nice to each other.
