Dear friends, I remember,
T'was late in September,
When to my old haunt did I stray,
And found there a message,
Whose text you'll all presage:
that DP.com was away.

This change I'd expected,
Yet still felt dejected,
My wanting eyes brimmed with dismay.
Where now to elope
For my politics dope,
With DP.com gone away?

I instead called to mind,
All the things that I'd find,
When DP returned from the fray:
The jabbing and shouting,
The crabbing and pouting,
The diligent making of hay.

For there would be Checker,
And zy... zg... whatever,
In combat with Turtle and Tres,
Plus Minnie and Trix,
And all who'd been nixed
When DP.com went away.

There too would be CLAX,
With VanceMack on attack,
And grief between Goofs and Jack Hays,
Calamity's clamor
As Mashmont made hammer-
ing Chomsky his fare for the day.

The cheers and the boos
At the day's daily news,
The pundits' and analysts' bray,
Their voices forsaken,
The noise had been taken
When DP.com went away.

The spiritual forum,
Its dearth of decorum
And cold, endless war on display:
The faithful preach faith,
And the atheists athe,
And seldom outside either stray.

The dense daily dump
Of data on Trump,
Done deftly with ne'er a delay,
Such hatred, devotion,
Obsession, commotion,
When DP returned from the fray.

Melees on collusion,
Inaction, confusion,
On cowardice, pipers to pay,
Lies and extortion,
Oppression, abortion,
Each 95 times in a day.

And missing this sorrow,
I thought of tomorrow,
When dreams of xenForo would stay
To fill up the part
That had drained in my heart
When DP.com went away.

So come take a look,
You'll hear Trump's a crook,
You'll hear Biden is senile and gray,
That old Mitch McConnell
And Rosie O'donnell
Think maybe Obama is gay.

You'll hear Warren is woke,
And that COVID's a joke,
You'll hear all the odd things men can say,
Hence please keep it civil,
I missed all the drivel,
When DP.com went away.


If you liked the poem, kindly show your appreciation by posting something nice about another member, about DP.com, or about xenForo. Cheers to the new software! :)
 
Hm. Only nine views and zero peeps.

Tough crowd. :unsure:
 
There once was a poet from debate politics
Who wrote a long ode to see what sticks
He included us all
The day after the fall
But nobody cared for the theatrics

I know a young critic named Ashes,
Whose tongue can cut deep as it lashes,
But truly you'll find
His barbs I don't mind,
For he bumps up my thread as he bashes.
