Sulekhawocky

Ravi Mundoli *

A word of explanation: I am an incorrigible Jabberwocky-modifier and a Sulekholic myself, which is why I couldn't resist doing this. This is not meant to belittle anyone's efforts at Sulekha, just an attempt to join the fold. The rest of you, keep up the good work and attempt to raise Sulekha from the depths it has descended to after the publication of this "thing". -- Ravi Mundo

'Twas summer, and the desi crowd
Did blah and babble at sulekha.com;
All worked up and clamouring aloud,
Venting their spleen in every form.

"Beware the Sulekholic, my friends!
Mind full o' stuff, with some time on hand!
Beware the cranky ladies and gents,
And shun these psychos numerous as sand!"

He took his grimy keyboard in lap;
Long time the Ctrl-Alt-Del he sought--
So rested he with his Windows NT,
And sat awhile in thought.

And, as in cyber thought he sat,
The Muse of Blah, that has no name,
Came screeching to this super-brat,
And expounded forth as it came!

Clip-clop! Clip-clop! And without a stop,
His fingers o'er the keyboard danced!
He clicked on "Send", and in the end
Stood up and like a madman pranced.

"And hast thou read the Sulekholic?
Come to my arms, my demented chum!
Oh joyous day! Hip-hip! Hooray!
We have a new member in the asylum!"

'Twas summer, and the desi crowd
Did blah and babble at sulekha.com;
All worked up and clamouring aloud,
Venting their spleen in every form.
