| I fear, noble Sanguineous, the point took a flight |
| Past your candelabra and into the night |
| What we need are folks scrubbing, not flinging in air |
| Less laundry _aired_, more laundry _care_ |
| |
| Dearest Deeptooth, bard of the brooding night |
| Your meter is steady, your morals quite tight |
| |
| But if wisdom were wine, yours might still need to breathe |
| For beneath all that verse, lies a drama unsheathed |
| |
| You speak of restraint, of hearts growing colder |
| While tossing your scrolls like a cape over your shoulder |
| |
| Is it hate that you see, or a mirror too near? |
| One held by a realm that's grown deaf to your sneer? |
| |
| You say silence would leave the Violent unchecked |
| Yet somehow it's you who's most often erect... |
| ...Upon your soapbox, I mean. Do try to reflect |
| |
| You speak as if sides were assigned with a scroll |
| And silence itself proves allegiance or goal |
| But not every eye-roll is part of a plot |
| Some of us simply... just _don't care a lot_ |
| |
| Yet here we all are, mid-scroll and mid-sigh |
| Watching the same old bat-drama fly by |
| One cries for peace, the other for war |
| And someone reposts it, then _adds three lines more_ |
| |
| So let the sun rise, let the cycle go on |
| But next time you rhyme, make sure the kettle's gone |
| |
| With moonlit mirth and infinite flair |
| I remain your humble whisper in dramatic despair |
| |
| Signed, Trollthroat the Slight, |
| Snarkcount of the Unwashed Sock Drawer, |
| Veilprince of Passive Shade and the Whinepires |
| (I've decided I've been promoted from Jester. How splendid |
| for me.) |
