POTD S.O.P.
POTD S.O.P.
POTD S.O.P.
POTD S.O.P.

same ones win
same winners won
no need to cite them
ad infinitum
POTD S.O.P.
POTD S.O.P.
POTD S.O.P.
POTD S.O.P.

they let different ones win
every now and then
carrot and stick for others
while each slowly smothers
POTD S.O.P.
POTD, rinse and repeat
POTD S.O.P.
POTD, rinse and repeat

your response may be
`he's never won POTD'
though what you say is true
so is what I say to you
POTD, rinse and repeat
POTD, rinse and repeat
POTD, rinse and repeat
POTD, rinse and repeat

we truly understand
they have the upper hand
time to scrap "special formula"
forging "fairness for all" phenomena
POTD, rinse and repeat
POTD S.O.P.
POTD, rinse and repeat
POTD S.O.P.

will change come or fail?
only time will tell
power to make it happen
lies with PS Admin

Until then, POTD S.O.P.

Until then, POTD S.O.P.

Until then, POTD S.O.P.

Until then, POTD S.O.P.

Not An Option

this drop-down box just does not fit
this pigeon-cooped web, on which I sit

my brother-in-law's first name don't matter
my mother's maiden name don't neither
see i never married, it'd make me fatter 'n'
Dad got Ma pregnant, then decided to leave 'er

i can't say i even remember a favorite
car or dog or a grade-school teacher
these choices would make me a hypocrite,
i don't fit your standard operating procedure 

my life don't fit in these digital boxes
in observation, i suspect i'm not alone
programming pretenses are overly obnoxious 
thinking outside them, that might be known

actually a bit of an inverse verse of sonnet
