Poem about an unhelpful fellow scribe whose assistance never quite works out.

This is one triond writer that really does live up to their name

Useless 786 will probably never be prepared to take the blame

For the computer virus tacked on to the supposed wonder hack

That was touted all across triond as a marvellous views attack

You would, in theory, use this download, pushing up your views

To heights you never thought to reach, banishing views blues

But truth is cruel, the claims a fiction, the download sore infected

 with a nasty virus that my computer  comprehensively rejected

Never got the chance to sample the benefits of this super present

Just grateful that my firewall prevented it from being too unpleasant

I have to say to useless, that it would really be quite handy

If anything they recommended turned out to be fine and dandy

Instead of which, on every occasion that yjey offered free advice

It turned out to be a crock of shit, no wonder folk think twice

About taking up these dodgy offers, not at all sure they’re well meant

I’d like to bill poor useless 786 for all that wasted time I spent

If anyone is seeking to help out their struggling fellow scribes

Perhaps they should think twice about those truly nasty vibes

that major disappointments cause, when every well-meant piece of advice

 turns out to be another rotten apple, and anything but nice

Time to change that useless tag, and to give up trying to help

All that assistance has caused up to now  is a strong desire to yelp

That nothing you recommend works out, that you need to give it a rest.

Useless, leave us all alone, I think that would be best.
