How about this:
There are holes in the sky
Where the rain gets in
But there ever so small
That's why the rain is thin.
Better...?

The vendor, alas, he sighed
And some forumites decried,
Such blackguard bid retraction,
Of eBay's foulest faction.
The Vendor sat forlorn and dejected,
The sale took place - the bid was retracted.
Oh well, thought he, it could have been worse,
Some numbskulls could have put the lot down in verse!
Regards,
Neil
(Numbskull McGonagall Miller)
One ought to be careful when bandying words such as 'numbskull' among company to whom a fascination towards incredibly sharp cutting implements constitutes their Raison d'être. :D
I think I am more than qualified to call myself a numbskull...! :)

Nosce te ipsum, my straight-shaving brother.

Sad Little Hone
A poor little hone sat tattered and broken.
As the world looked on,,,
there were few words of love spoken.
With grease on it's back
and slurry in it's eyes,,,
the little hone cried, "It's only a crack."
Please buy me a home,
where the straight razors roam.
Hit the "Bid Now" button
and please don't stop.
I want to rest my worn body,
next to a Neil Miller strop.
Love it Hirlau! Owes a bit to Home On The Range, though:
Oh give me a home where the straight razors roam
Where the IXL and the NON-XL play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Hone, hone on the range
Regards,
Neil
