Whole Loops
-- an indriso
Geeks and nerds play with language to amuse,
Folding words like paper, shooting the hoops,
Bowing to applause noisy and profuse.
Partisans play with language to confuse,
Making the nooses, slipping through the loops,
Looking for the next thing they can abuse.
They make whole loops like this, Moebius troops,
Until someone slits the ribbon -- oops.
