To the Unknown Plagiarist

In a Swiftean mood today: and here is the res­ult. Ded­ic­ated to the Unknown Plagiarist.

To steal a thought is no great sin.
Research is just a word.
Geez, why put a ref­er­ence in?
Your dili­gence is absurd!
In our mod­ern, shar­ing world
An author’s rights are void.
Besides, what private rights once were
The inter­net’s destroyed.”

Embrace your shal­low­ness, then, friend,
And paint your ignor­ance bliss.
Copy-pas­ted laurels wilt
On brains that thrive on piss.
