Les Bizarrables
Learning
LAYMEN:
Did you see them?
Did you read their posts?
Singers of the serenade
Who faded into ghosts.
Did you see them?
Did you know their fame?
People used to follow them
And search for them by name.
Did you see them? Did you feel the same?
Who will wake them?
No one ever will.
On they've gone to yonder pond
Beyond the fabled hill.
They were lifebuoys,
Ever full of zest.
Writing for a newsfroup
That would rise above the rest.
Where's that newsfroup
Now they've deliquesced?
Nothing novel. Nothing to inspire.
Every day another way to sink into the mire.
Timorous beasties, losing their resolve.
What's the use of pardon
If there's no one to absolve?
Learning, learning, learning learning learning
To evolve.
Learning, learning, learning to evolve.
Newbies into oldbies, and the oldbies then dissolve.
One rings changes. One foretells rebirth.
All aboard the sounding board that circles all the Earth.
Round and round and round for all it's worth.
