[WikiEN-l] Poetry thread

This thread invited everyone
  To wax poetic
Some cross words were exchanged and some
  Apologetic
To those who'd try their hand at this
  Be sympathetic
 Though we all know that wiki rhymes
  Can be pathetic

I know when I post doggerel
  Some users curse
They may reach for their medicine
  Or call a nurse
The forms of stanzas I have used
  Have been diverse
But in each case, the mood has gone
  From bad to verse
