News Staff Oath of Office

News Staff Oath of Office
by MadelineB
2012 July 7
I do somewhat solemnly swear:
I will Digg for the Topix,
Sometimes in a Huff;
If its news I have ->-bleeped-<---
There's never enough!
Though my eyes Google over,
I'll look until - Bing -
Every source that's Del.icio.us,
it's praises I'll sing!
I will harvest new memes
From the Near East and Fark;
in all Times zones I'll wander
from LA to New York.
Out of Washington I will Post,
To the Edge and beyond;
with a Blade in my hand,
or an editor's wand.
Never a Yahoo;
but a mature Advocate;
respecting copyright
and not giving Sue fits.
Condensing press releases
of organizations,
from Canada, Australia, and the whole world's nations.
I will slog through the blogs
and never will cease
to strain through the feeds
for the treasures we seek.
Hear today, go on tomorrow,
Susan's Place interests
always to pique.
-----------------
I will keep my commentary
to a small bit at the end,

I have had this song stuck in my head all day, thank you very much!
QUEEN - Bicycle Race (on stage full version) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Guv6hWaIQaE#)
(I didn't embed the original video because it is a little bit NSFW, but that is in my head too :))
BTW, the staff bicycle is clothing optional, right? I haven't a thing to wear!
