A Tribute to the Mods

Often as I'm wandering, about the forums wide,
I wonder where the Mods unwind, relaxing on the side.

Sometimes I can't help, but imagine all the Mods,
gazing through a portal, like the Mount Olympus gods.

I'll bet they have a secret thread, where only Mods can come,
to talk about us mortals, or chitchat with their chums

They see us little users, scurrying about their feet.
When one of us has a problem, their help do we entreat.

I get a little jealous, but without the Mods employed,
we should have all kinds of strife, where then would be the joy?

They keep our little topics clean, they organize the threads.
why, if we didn't have the Mods, the forum would be dead!

For instance, say we fired Mods, and went along our way,
then we would be sorry, oh! The dreadful day!

If one of us had an error, say a message can't be sent,
we'd be lost without the Mods, then would we repent!

We'd hire all the Mods back on, that's the first we'd do
then we'd tell them that we're sorry, and to them be true.

To us the Mods are Jedi Knights, the keepers of the just
they are the guardians of peace, keep them on, we must

In writing this I mean no harm, I hope I am forgiven,
for if I find this not the case, I shall away be driven,

This poem is all quite innocent, no harm have I intended,
so this is my farewell, if my user name is ended.

<^> TrulyGhent

What a fun poem, TrulyGhent! I loved it!

Often as I'm wandering, about the forums wide,
I wonder where the Mods unwind, relaxing on the side.

Sometimes I can't help, but imagine all the Mods,
gazing through a portal, like the Mount Olympus gods.


The whimsical cadence and you unique take on the mods make this truly brilliant!

Um... was it just a coincidence that the whole poem mirrored Puck's ending speech in "Midsummer Night's Dream"?

Truly you can see why they use truly? tongue

As one poet to another, extremely good job. Rhymed beautifully, flowed perfectly, and was insanely entertaining. Very nicely written. happy
