With apologies to Jimmy Buffet.
Mediocreville
Clickin' on update
Stayin' up too late
Watchin' my score as it hovers near 5
Self-DQ I'm thinking as my score is sinking
I'll never get out of this challenge alive
Wastin' away again in mediocreville
Searchin' for a 6, 7 or 8
Some people claim that there's a troll or 2 to blame
Cuz I know my photo's really great
Don't know the reason
My photo's not pleasin'
I used lots of filters from Photoshop 9
Sharpened and resized, tried to pimp the eyes
On my monitor it looks really fine
Wastin' away again in mediocreville
Searchin' for a 6, 7 or 8
Some people claim that there's a troll or 2 to blame
Now I think, hell it might not be great
I look at my profile
It rarely makes me smile
I've only won 1 ribbon so far, it's blue
It's a real cutie, a Scalvert-like beauty
How it got there I haven't a clue
Wastin' away again in mediocreville
Searchin' for a 6, 7 or 8
Some people claim that there's a troll or 2 to blame
But I know my photo isn't that great

Great poem and I know the feeling - but it can't be yourself you are talking about. I see more than one ribbon on your profile. And several scores of 7 too...

OK, you had me really stumped there for a minute. Good thing for google and wikipedia. Although given this quote, I'm going to rethink my wish to visit Newfoundland:
'Screeching" someone visiting Newfoundland for the first time is a longtime custom of many older bars in Newfoundland, in which the person is to drink a shot glass filled with Screech, kiss a codfish on the mouth, and recite a Newfoundland saying. After which they receive an official 'Screechers' certificate. Bars most famous for this initiation are found along the George Street entertainment district of downtown St. John's, Newfoundland.

Thanks everyone! There is also one done to "Twas the Night Before Christmas" which lots of people read and recorded last year.

| Great lyrics Karen! I didn't see this the first time around and it's already stuck in my head. |
