How do we capture the Internet troll?
Crows have a murder, whales have a pod.
Fish have a school and pedestrians a plod.
Mayors have mumbles and crowds have meanders.
Naponeons have Waterloos and Greats Alexanders.
“What of trolls?” you might ask. “What name do we call them?
“In all of the world what pit to befall them?”
Foresaken? Forelorn? At least literarily.
At wits end or further, sans grace and vocabulary?
A tincture of trolls?
No, that’s really not right.
A truckload of trolls?
Better, but not quite.
A terror? A trolly?
A nest or a volley?
A termination of trolls?
Not even close, such a folly.
A pride? Hah! Just kidding.
More pandering than perfect.
A lucifer? I guess.
Though old scratch has more intellect.
But let us just think…
They are all so appropriate...
But none on the mark.
None nearly proportionate.
A barrage of trolls?
A bracken? A blight!
True, all in all.
But still not quite right.
A thickness of trolls?
Nah. That’s phonetically trying.
A headache of trolls?
Much more satisfying.
Try again, try again.
Think thrice and much more.
Oh, how the mind rolls!
How the thoughts soar.
I’ve got it! I’ve got it!
Take note on your scrolls.
It’s a confederacy of cretins,
A Trouble of Trolls.
That is all that it needs,
That is it and quite quick!
And now to the Internet,
For just one more click.
