Oh, these nights will bare me true
They'll strip me to the core and through
I'm weary and my nerves laid raw
I've been backed up against the wall
I am so vexed with commonplace
My patience gone with ne'er a trace
Benighted fools have pushed me here
Sequestered me without a care
And now I'm true; I've been laid bare
There's no facade lingering here
So wary, now, the fools should be
It won't take much to quicken me
I'm forging, now, my vicious sword
Composed of quite erudite word
So if you cannot stand your ground
On that forum then back down now
