Ode to a database (OpenInsight Specific)

I am the Grim Deleter
Deleting every post
The stuff you like to read today
Is stuff I target most
If it's obtuse, or witty
Or clever or delightful
I razor every inch of it
Insightful is inciteful
We need some more web censorship
'cause frankly this is fun
I'll vanquish every predicate
before your subject's done
So don't start getting nasty
Or I'll come to your abode
And what I do to postings here
I'll do to all your code
I'll tie up all your customers
and drive them round to Jim's
He'll say it's chic to be "boutique"
Then sell them NLMs
Reapers come and reapers go
But wait until the slaughter….
When I carve away what's good
And take it to Livewater

That's about the funniest poem I've ever read. You've got us all in stitches.

The poem is very witty,
we really must admit
I almost shed a tear
before I deleted it
Every Friday is the same
when you post on this forum
We have stated rules
so treat them with decorum
Web censorship is not our goal
you must understand
Many other companies
would simply have you banned
This must have happened to you before
and you must think you are wiser
but what a little wimp you are
for hiding behind an anonymizer
I know my poetry may
seem a little thin
But I gotta go back to work
and sell more NLMs.
Really guys, if you want to discuss our rules and regulations,
call me at 978 247-7165.
