Sympathy for the Pseudonymous Blogger

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of imperial taste
I've been around for ten long years
Laid many a brain to waste
And I was spouting non sequiturs
When the guy from Richmond got pained
He made damn sure the pizza delivery drivers
Flushed me out and sealed my fate

Pleased to meet you
Don't you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I got kicked out of Facebook
When they saw it was a time for a change
Killed my account to make a point there
But we didn't scream in vain

Worked at a mag
Then I was kicked to the curb
There were two of me
Give the lawyers a blurb

Pleased to meet you
Don't you guess my name
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

But other people
Lead different lives
I called Robert Scoble
But didn't call his wife

I shouted out
"Who killed anonymity?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man with a lack of taste
And I laid traps for the trendy ones
Who get killed before they reached El-Lay

Pleased to meet you
Don't you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Just as every newsman is biased
And all the bloggers saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Daniel Lyons
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint(s)

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll spam your comments to waste

Pleased to meet you
Don't you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
