May I add a Musical(ish) if parodic note?

So Shambles spins
(Tune Sir Patrick Spens)

The Shambles sits at his keyboard
Writing a new thread whine
"Oh Who shall keep the Mudcat pure
The task must sure be mine"

Then out spoke bold Joe Offer
"Bold arbiter I be
That Shamble's a contentious git
As ever you might see"

The Shambles wrote a great great length
In threads that Numbered three
Saying "Guests that post anonymous
Are all OK to me"

"Its No-o way, its no-o-way "
so loudly he did moan
"will I be part of a witch hunt
'gainst folks who remain unknown"

The first line that Shambles wrote
No laughter laugh-ed he
"I'll not a single line here will I use
When I can two or three"

"Oh Who is this that's done this deed
And calls the clones "all right"
"We must resist the Witchfinder
Resist with all our might"

The thread it hardly had been up
A day or maybe three
When diverse Mudcatters spoke out
Both Loud and long so free

"The Shambles he is full of shit"
and many insults more
"He talks oppression of us all
He just don't know the score"

"Take heart ,take heart Mudcatters all
Make sure that we are clear
Its not for glory or for fame
But Music we are here"

Then out there spoke young Mudcatter
"I fear the 'Cat will sink
And with these personal attacks
It will begin to stink"

They had not passed 100 posts
When Giok shouted "Please
Its havering loud that yous all are
Your worse than the Wee Frees"

Thomas the Rhymer and BillD
Amos and Kevin McGrath
Were loath to leave the thread alone
Or be seen to run awa'


For if they to yield, and opt for quiet
The Mudcat soon you'd find
A place for guests and spoilers all
And a Shambles left behind
