Lobster in chains
Nov 14 '02
The Bottom Line I like Lobster. I still hate tuna. I am neutral about trout in milk.
I yearn to have a parlor light
that doesn’t have to flicker
when I am thinking in the night
and trying not to bicker
its hard you know to just be me
and tolerate my humor
God knows its hard to even see
the halo through the rumor.
I heard a tale of lobsters here
and darkness clouds my mind
Its more than anger that I fear
its the making of a kind
of hate that feeds its own regard
and hurts the lowly writer
And keeps their words as barred
by some re-vengeful blighter.
It is consumers that I fear
will take their “reads” away
and sit instead with a cold beer
And off computer stay!
‘Cause no want wants to hear the way
of products without humor
Of those who want to stop the play
and cut it like a tumor.
But in the end who have they hurt
those who claim the job,
and those who wear the fascist shirt-
epinions censor squad?
I hear the village shouts and cries
They’ve gone to get a torch
while the “moral” subgroup lies
just rockin’ on their porch.
‘Cause they can point their fingers well
and issue stupid fines
and condemn them all to go to hell
Who color past the lines.
So help us free that Lobster girl
who with her vulgar wit
Amuses and enlightens us.
‘Cause this is just bullsh*t!
I have an answer “what to do”
instead of blocking friends
Stop reading and don’t rate the suff
If the content so offends.
It speaks poorly of us all
to let such things be true
A writer need not take a fall
if they offended you.
You say you are protecting us
the consumer at the base
but you fail to understand
that each still has a face.
It is people who will bring them back
to this epinions site
not boring trite renditions
of product specs, all right?
It is US that bring them here
To see what we have written
Not dull reviews of cleaning mops
or microwaves, best hidden.
Sometimes it is funny tales
Or irony, by golly
That increase the retail sales
By showing human folly.
So get that through your tiny brains
It isn’t just for you
We ALL are the consumers here
and our work is just as true.
You take upon yourself too much
more than you ever should-
(But I’ll shut my mouth and such
and try to do some good.)
If YOU help free that lobster girl
who with her vulgar wit
Amuses and enlightens us,
‘Cause this is all bullsh*t!
Respectfully submitted in the name of fairness and support of a writer who has been " ticketed and blocked by Epinions". It is not the WHOLE community that feels the need to censure. What I object to is not being able to find these reviews to judge them for myself.
