An inept but loving pastiche for suzecarol, with apologies to Christopher Smart. (Go read that first, if you haven't before.)


For I will consider my friend Suze.
For she has been low in spirits lately, which is a grief to God and her fellows.
For she is a servant of the Living Slashdom duly and daily serving it.
For this she performs in ten degrees.
For first she looks upon fandom to see if it is acting idiotically.
For secondly she kicks up amusements on lists.
For thirdly she checks countless links and updates them.
For fourthly she even checks and updates links for fiction that is distasteful in her eyes and would gag a maggot.
For fifthly she posts these links that other fans may find whatever fiction they seek.
For sixthly she runs lists and quells kerfuffles.
For seventhly she treats newbies with kindness.
For eighthly she smites trolls.
For ninthly she recommends in public what is good, that others may find it.
For tenthly she mocks in private what is terrible, that others may be entertained.
For she has written Muse stories that are both hilarious and hot.
For she gives delight to her readers.
For she has Methos under her thumb, which is a feat to marvel at.
For she treats Duncan with kindness and gives him Methos to play with.
For she is of all women in the world the one Amanda would most like to go shopping with.
For there is none more loyal to her friends and more tenacious in their defense.
For if she meet another slasher she teases her in kindness.
For when she encounters a ninny on list she plays with her to give her a chance.
For one ninny in seven escapes by her dallying, and the others might even learn a thing or two.
For she counteracts the powers of idiocy by her electrical skin and glowing eyes.
For she counteracts the Devil, who is Stupidity, by brisking about with intelligence.
For she is of the tribe of Tiger.
For she has the subtlety and hissing of a serpent, which in goodness she (usually) suppresses.
For she will not do destruction, if she is well-fed with good fiction, neither will she spit without provocation.
For the dexterity of her defence is an instance of the love of God to her exceedingly.
For she is the quickest to her mark of any creature.
For she is tenacious of her point.
For she is a mixture of gravity and waggery.
For there is nothing sweeter than her snark when at rest.
For there is nothing brisker than her brain when in motion.

Hugs to you, hon. Be well.

As delightful as the original. Gravity and waggery is my favorite combination. *g*

Thanks, Kat. That's lovely. Maybe I should whine more often. :-)

Hee, this is wonderful, Kat. And so very, very true.
