a google suggestion, in verse

While hanging out last night, as I am wont to do,
With several ex-members of the Deja crew,
I pulled Lane over and gave him the scoop
On how I would improve Google Groups.

I'd let the empowered user choose
How the browser should handle the prefix news://
By using a button on the bar, of course,
Or by using the one that's open source.

Instead of a separate tool being launched
I'd stay right in my browser for all my alt.sex raunch.
My need for a reader would certainly cease;
I'd tell Outlook Express to Rest in Peace.

Yeah, but you can't get binaries through Google Groups.

Is the previou commentie the one and only Andy Dick, or am i just nuts?

Never do that again.

Anil's a fledging poet,
and however bad,
don't kill his attempt yet,
'cause the idea had,
some merit to it.

I fear that rhyming
"launched" and "raunch" as a couplet
may haunt me for days

Damn, man. If that's the only thing that bugged you in that, I suggest you avert your eyes from the incredible mismatches in the number of syllables in each line.

Also: It's a Google feature request, in verse.
