a turn for the verse...

[technoshaman]

I'd write this in Seussian verse, but I haven't the cope
But basically to corporation lawsuits, we must just say "nope"
The thing about fandom - it just wants to have fun
but They want ALL THE DOLLARS, yes every last one.
Well, they can't have mine! it's going to you
and to ComixMix and bards and storytellers too...
I don't know how I do this; it just starts to flow...
but the import for all of us: JUST STAND AND SAY NO!

A dollar or two, or a signal to boost
will keep corporations from cooking our goose
The next lines I write are aimed at the jerks
and they are definitely not safe for works
I so hate to say this, but honest to Zeus
Support fannish causes, and FUCK DOCTOR SEUSS!
