Nimrod, the newsgroup poster,
Wields some mighty scissors.
He cuts away the good stuff
And leaves only the fritters.

Matrimonials I comprehend,
Desperateness, oh well.
But have you not the little time
To a better story tell.

If thee shall go baring thy soul
In such a pusillanimous way.
I wonder what thee is looking for
Beyond a once-a-month lay.
