			*** The USENET Song ***

 Words: Throat Warbler Mangrove			Music: Willy Nielson-Rating

 Copyright (c) 1986 by a renegade band of beavers that have taken over the
                       Metropolitan Opera house in NYC for purposes that
                       are BETTER LEFT UNSAID! (Something about Slim Whitman,
                       a stapler, and rubber baby buggy bumpers.  UGH!)

Note, note, note!
An "in-no-cent" note.
From it you quote
To go for my throat.

Flame, flame, flame!
You're notes inane!
Your argument is lame,
So I complain.

(Art Garfunkel chirps in: OOOOOOOOOOOH!  My /dev/null is fu-ull!)

Note, note, note!
That's not what I WROTE!
You think that it's up to vote?
You creosote!

Flame, flame, flame!
Hang your head in shame!
You think that this is a game?
It's you I'd like to maim!

(A lisp hacker sings:  Defun!  Defun!  Defun, it is gone!)

UU-C-P!
It's plain to see
If you mail it to me
It's postage free!

Net, net, net!
This song's ALL WET!
But don't you fret!
On this line, the end, I'll let.

********> THE END <********
