The "start" and the yellow 'moticons now
United for that purposed overthrow
Of "I'm feeling lucky." They call to arms
Trumpeting the bells and whistles, their IM.
But I will stick with this simplicity,
Not well-known gaudy physiognomy!
With just the Google Talk I rather chat,
Not only that -- it starts in seconds flat.
Whereas AIM, YIM, and MSN
All acronyms, and all have ads, and all the same.
They band together 'cause, they see -- they know
Google must die. They fight and make a show
While we are left to watch for oversights
And money lost, and the backstabbing nights.
We stand a-tittered at all the loss
As they attempt to strut and show who's boss.
And all the peacock's feathers, gaudy tails,
Remind us "Profit-making never fails."
So sit you down while we delight the time
By pleasure of contemporary rhyme.
