From: Mark Datko Newsgroups: alt.fan.pratchett Subject: [I] Some poetry wibble Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 20:58:11 +0000 Having come across the original of this (incidentally by that well know author anon) in a tome about another group of folk of like minds that got together to do something a great deal more serious ... [1], I couldn't resist the urge to adapt ... I think that I shall never see A newsgroup as curious as afp This place called up 'pon Pterry's words And peopled by the strangest nerds Yet what they *do* they seldom say Perhaps they'll tell on Clarecraft Day For seven long years we have been here Sipping our metaphorical beer We come by netscape, or by gravity Be it Mac, X-term , PC Where would we go, where would we be If ever newsfeeds dropped afp The Wibbling types, now never shy Lurkers neither post nor fry Ofiah geeks, beards complete Newbie, Oldbie, Cabal ?, Elite ? Yet what they *mean* they seldom say Perhaps they'll tell on Clarecraft Day If I should die think only this of me I liked my friends on afp And should my folk ask "What did you do At the end of millenium two ?" ".... Dejanews, just go and look Or better still, read a Pratchett book" DMark [1] Several bags of cccbs to the first to come up with where I found the original.
