Goodbye Internet Trolls

This one’s for Seema, to memorialize her fight with the ASC troll and other ASC Awards sockpuppets and cheaters.

Title:   Goodbye Internet Trolls
Author:  Jemima
Summary: A filk of Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" for Seema.
The original lyrics were by Bernie Taupin, music by Elton John.

When are you gonna grow up?
When will you understand?
I should have stuck to P/T,
I should have studied for that exam.

You know you can't mock me forever -
You see I've misplaced the muse.
I can't remember when I last got feedback;
This fan's too young to be filking the blues...

So goodbye Internet trolls
And the dregs of the mailing-list crowd -
Don't look for me in your treehouse
I'm down here laughing out loud.

Laugh at the horny, bad smut on the lists
Weed out the scriptkidz and moles -
Now I'm pointing my browser at sunny skies,
Without the Internet trolls...

What will you do without me?
Who are you going to flame?
Keep your minions voting for godawful fanfics -
I'm not playing your contest game.

Surely you'll find a replacement,
There's plenty of newbies to use -
Fangirls who haven't seen through you
Looking for contests they're just gonna lose...

    I love it! Thank you! I now finally have a Jemima-custom filk. I especially enjoy the line “Now I’m pointing my browser at sunny skies.” How very true.
