'Twas the weekend before Christmas
The newsgroups were quiet.
The regulars were away
And then came the blight.

Anonymouse had learnt
After trying so hard.
The art of cut-and-paste
I am proud of this pard.

He tells a tale,
Of abusive femmes.
Cracking a whip 
As they strut in their chemise.

I have heard some tell of 
Wonders like that.
Arabian Nights and
Locker-room chat.

But no one I knew
Knew anyone like that.
It saddened my heart
Had set my cap at that.

Now I hear 
The magical words.
Anonymouse does seem to 
Know these birds.

Please dear anonymouse
Introduce me, do.
Ten or so amazons
I will ardently woo.

To gladden your heart
I will merrily point out.
Twenty battered women
And the associated louts.
