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

I hoped you enjoyed this poem. Thank you

Whenever I am tempted to fight fire with fire, I try, try, try to remember that the fire department usually uses water. Unless it's a chemical fire. The you have to smother the damn thing. Because adding water to the chemically unstable makes towns in Texas explode. Didn't we learn this already.

sigh. Always so hard keeping straight which is which. Gets to be a lot for my multiple personalities to remember. And the paperwork alone [bureaucracy is comin' to the USA!]... dude, all I can say, ya' should see the papercuts. Horrible mess. Mercurachrome everywhere. Looks like I am bleeding all over the f*****g place. But that, Steven and Dunne would point out from their narrow tower windows, is just what women do... come in and bleed all over men's finest creations.

That being said, a very wise friend on here, perhaps the wisest in the ever-dwindling circle of people who still associate with me, said: treat everyone like it really is a cafe, and they are sitting across from you on the bar seat. I would add that maybe remember some time in the past they maybe even bought you a round or two when you were in the cups.

i had vision of smothering something yesterday, yes indeed, decided to let it go at that :)

I still have a thing for Lincoln even after knowing how he betrayed my Kentucky

Thanks for stopping by Marie

Don't ever be afraid to banter with me... I actually have a pretty good sense of humor most of the time. Here, you can tell that rampant sleep deprivation was clearly kicking in.

[Baby Ricochet]

HA! I know that feeling

[Marie Anzalone]

~12 hours of good sleep in 5 days... and that is not anywhere near a personal record. It is called, "I defend for my graduate degree in 3 days"

Funny. some think this only happens on WC. In fact it happens on just about every writing site I have visited. (maybe it's me) Its all fun until someone gets an eye put out.

[Baby Ricochet]

Flame wars are like road rage. You think you're protected by a fast moving highway and most of the time you are, until some crazy f**k pulls a Glock 9mm out of his glove box. Thanks for stopping by Jack. It's always a pleasure to hear from you

[Mr Dunne Poetry]

Oh, wow. This is so cool. I really like this piece, BR. Thank you for writing this :)

[Baby Ricochet]

Thanks for stopping by Mr Dunne. It's always a pleasure to hear from you

[Mr Dunne Poetry]

The pleasure is always mine. Thanks for sharing :)

Who is this "she" person you discuss? Watchdog is a dude, his other profile is TLK, I assure you, he has twigs and berries firmly planted between his legs.

You know, I'm f*****g tired of having to defend myself to all of those who believe me to be him. For starters, TLK always acts of his own accord. However, I fully support his endeavors because a bunch of us are tired of the bullshit, plus, he is one of the few who's been in my corner through all of this mess. My loyalty rarely falters. Ask quinn, he'll tell you the same.

[Baby Ricochet]

Oh okay. I'll change it

[Baby Ricochet]

There ya go

[jkhatz]

He "came out" as watchdog because I finally complained to him that I was receiving an ungodly amount of private messages and comments and reviews calling me a liar. Everyone thought I was watchdog, even when I sent out glaring evidence to support otherwise.

[Baby Ricochet]

Eh, It's a slow day at work today.

[quinfinn]

hatz has remained in my corner thru thick and thin....no lie.

[KAOlmsted]

HA! Nice...I am staying so far the f**k out of this s**t it's not even funny xD But I love this, Mark. You freakin nailed it. (Lose one of the 'went's in the eighth stanza, though...it made me stutter *laugh*)

I hope this is in the #1 spot.

xoxo

[Baby Ricochet]

Typos. Arrgg! Thanks Kimmer. I'll fix it

[KAOlmsted]

Always my pleasure, Baby.
