That Crazy Little Lovable Meme - a poem

I was reading something the other day about blogging and it said that the all the best bloggers these days talk about memes. According to the article, you're not a real blogger unless you talk about memes all the time. Naturally, when I read this I was appalled and disgusted - at myself!! How on earth had I managed to have over thirty posts, and not even once broach the topic of memes? So I decided to rectify the situation, and hopefully restore some semblance of credibility to my reputation as a blogger, by writing a poem about memes (hoping also, in the process, to be counted among that glorified inner-circle of esteemed bloggers with their fingers firmly on the pulse of the Zeitgeist - ooh yeah, that's right baby, all you cultural elites better watch out! Enthusiastic Hack is about to crash your cultural hegemony tea-party!).




That Crazy Little Lovable Meme - a poem (about memes)

There once was a crazy little lovable meme
Who had a crazy little memey dream
She was drowning in a pool of chlorinated steam
Oh, that crazy little lovable meme


There once was an ambitious visionary meme
Who devised a multi-level marketing scheme
And embezzled all the funds and moved overseas
Oh, that crazy little lovable meme

There once was an unstable, volatile meme
Who was interested in extreme right-wing ideologies
He spent eight highly traumatic years in the military
Oh, that crazy little lovable meme


There once was a wealthy patriarchal meme
Who was African-American and named Akeem
But it's not the character played by Eddie Murphy
In Coming to America - that's just coincidental and arbitrary
Oh, that crazy little wealthy, patriarchal, lovable old meme
