Modern trains bear strange freight
Blocks on the switches and bans to bait,
Banhammers swinging in the Wikisphere tracks,
Strange tools echoing whistled bootjacks.

Utopian scene of the gallant youth,
Games denied by the anxious mouse,
Scent of Kool Aid, sweet and cool,
Then the sudden smack of a Wiki fool.

Here is freight for non-cows to block,
For the pain to gather, for the tunes to mock,
For the pun to zap, for El Reg to rock,
Here is a strange and bitter sock.
