I met a poster from a forum thread,
Who said: Two lines mocking a famous poem
Were posted by a mouse frocked green (not red),
Whose omnipresent portrait pictures show him
With monocle, and stick of cold command,
Telling the painter well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And in the mouse's lines these words appear:
'My name is Ozymousias, Winner of Winners
Look on my Win, ye Mighty, and despair!'
No win beside remains. Round the decay
Of that forgotten post, boundless and bare
Thousands of losses lone stretch far away.
