are you drunk?

Oh no not slippy blue
It just cannot be true
Found Guilty of racist speak
When your words they did tweak
Poltical correctness had gone to their head
So many good forumites now good as dead
Never no more allowed to post
All Now just a remembered ghost
Not a fitting end for this fine gent
As Weirdos still post - the forum's all bent.
Moderator's drawn a wiggly line in the sand
Brush across it, and its forever life banned !!
