Boys Don’t Like Funny Girls

Ode to Wikipedia

Posted by: jennicki on: June 11, 2008

My Ode to All Things Wiki, set to the music of Jimmy Buffet’s classic “Margaritaville.”

Nibblin’ on rice cakes
Watchin’ the snow flakes
Cover the world outside my new home.
At the old desktop, yahoo’ed my mail out,
Googled myself and
wrote a new poem
 
Wastin’ away again on Wikipedia
Searchin’ for all topics large and small
Some people claim that it’s porno to blame,
but I know (do do do do do) it’s that damn Wiki’s fault
 
Don’t know the reason
Been online all evenin’
With nothin’ to show but some retro odd news
But it’s a real stunner–
a legless runner
won the Iron Man back in ‘02
 
Wastin’ away again on Wikipedia
Searchin’ for all topics large and small
Some people claim that it’s porno to blame,
but I know (do do do do do) it’s that damn Wiki’s fault
 
I browsed the quotations
The Wiki-notations
Got sleepy as I cruised through the unknown
But there’s coffee a-brewin’,
and soon it will seep in
It’s that caffeine that helps me hang on
 
Wastin’ away again on Wikipedia
Searchin’ for all topics large and small
Some people claim that it’s porno to blame,
but I know (do do do do do) it’s that damn Wiki’s fault
I said some people claim that it’s porno to blame,
but I know (do do do do do) it’s that damn Wiki’s fault.
