By Gar It's A Flame War

I couldn't resist

It's a good old fashion flame war
Like professional wrestling
With all the bombastic posturing
and c**k waving gesturing

We got our team corners covered
Watchdog Emily and jkhatz
Mr Dunne Nana and Tate Morgan
Lets see who wears the pants

Tate has all his defenses covered
Blocking was his thing
he had a brawler in his corner
When Nana got in the ring

She hurled rants at the opposition
Knocking back their heads
Watchdog mounted a counterattack
Sock puppet's what he said

His evidence was quite impressive
Whatever the f**k it meant
He really wanted to get at Morgan
On that he was hell bent

Then he posted an ultimatum
Calling Tate Morgan out
The blocking bully of the WC
With his big shot writer clout

Old Mr Morgan he didn't respond
So watchdog made a threat
Frisking his work for plagiarism
He'd get blocking bully yet

So after that crap went nowhere
They jumped on Mr Dunne
The rapper poet from jolly England
Could this spell his doom

They got nothing on elusive Dunne
Flame wars are his thing
Huge rap battles are his tradition
He's got fight to bring

For those of us keeping our distance
Some are upset I'm not
Flame wars are a writing tradition
Whether we like it or not.

Perhaps they're silly and juvenile
It's all part of the fun
They never amount to anything
Just mouths that like to run

It's a good old fashion comedy
just like the days of yore
So you know our flame war players
will be back for their encore

It has been an interesting cavalcade of characters. I will admit I've read most of it. Aw c'mon everyone so have you. I enjoyed this very much. : )

[Baby Ricochet]

I was at work and caught what I could on my phone. Much of it gets deleted for some reason so I couldn't go back for highlights. Drag. Thanks for stopping by icelandicblue. It's always a pleasure.

[rhythm&blues]

I'm assuming this has to do with the nasty bickering that has been going on here, is that the norm around here. Your words ring true.

[Baby Ricochet]

It comes and goes. Thanks for stopping by R and B

[N!LoC]

hahah maybe i missed it but was this inspired by true events?

[Baby Ricochet]

Oh yeah. Another big battle royal, two actually. If you're lucky you can catch the next one. Thanks for stopping by N!LoC. It's always a pleasure to hear from you little bro.

[Annabelle Lee]

A flame war? And Baby R isn't right in the middle of it?
It's astonishing to see you merely commentating on this one, Ricochet

[Baby Ricochet]

It's a good spot. Thanks dog

I like the creativity of this piece. Whether you are a part of the argument or not it was nice to see someone try to bring levity to this situation. I think that writers often forget that writing is a gift. Creativity is a gift. I don't think anyone should be offended by this poem. It just provides a little satire to the situation. I wish all those guys would just write according to their talents. That is what makes sites like this great. All of them are god writers that can provide fresh perspectives to everyone through their writing. I hope they move on from this argument and focus back on their talents.

[Baby Ricochet]

The you for stopping by Eddie. It was a genuine pleasure to hear from you.

[Frieda P]

YOU, never PC, always entertaining, and she doth protest too muchly! Good one Mark...

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you frieda

[Frieda P]

My pleasure, never know what to expect from you, but it's always profound!

Well, the poem is entertaining. I really don't get the "wars". The only other writing sites I've been on besides WC have been private groups so apparently I miss a lot of this sort of thing. (Thank goodness). I like the poem in general, but as before - I'm so glad I miss this "carousel of crazy" that hits the WC at times, different people (I think) each time, but it does seem to hit this place a lot.

[Baby Ricochet]

Sometimes missing out is a beautiful thing. Thanks for stopping by serrah

I try to stay out of these things unless someone overtly attacks Baby Richchet. Then I am all teeth and claws.

[Baby Ricochet]

Awesome. Thanks Marie.

[KAOlmsted]

Ha! Welcome to the club Marie xD

[quinfinn]

i have had enough of the whole "let's see who we can attack this week" thingy. i am staying out of any and all altercations from now forward...it is doing no one any good and only serves to denigrate all parties involved, even the right and the righteous. you write a great ridicule here, Mark....it has its place. seems all of us pay dearly for getting involved though. i am like Switzerland.....neutral!

[Baby Ricochet]

Neutrality is a beautiful thing. Thanks for stopping by pegasus. Your input is always welcome here.

[quinfinn]

we've seen enough of battle, my brother. let the newbies and the ignorant pick and fight their wars. you are always welcome in my corner too.
