Wikipedia Weeps lyrics

There is no substitute for living

No shortcuts to pretend

Whiskers and wrinkles are won

By the trials and triumphs of life

The school of actual existence

Wikipedia has two roads to take

The paraphrasing, parroting of primary school chidren

Or to jostle a forgetful mind that may not recall it all

But casual reading is no substitute for research, nor for life

Stray from being thought a fool

By those who know, who have been

If one has not lived, and gambled all

Then there are no bragging rights laid claim

In the cyber land of errant information

Plageriarizing potatoes grow

Far from the light of knowledge

Or inquiries that come with life

Do not be harvested here

Without 'being' first, referring second

For there is but one go-around

Unaided, unlived by Wikipedia
