But the trolls, who lived just south of Shakesville, did NOT!
The trolls hated discourse and logic and reason;
Perhaps, in their troll brains, they thought it was treason,
Although the most plausible reason of all
May be that their troll dicks were two sizes too small.
The more that they stewed over Shakesville's success,
The more they determined to stop the whole mess.
"That's it!" said the trolls, "Now they're blogging on rape.
Our tiny troll dicks need a plan of escape!"
So they slouched in their basements one dark summer night,
Bombarded the server, and shut down the site.
"We've silenced the Shakers!" they crowed all in chorus.
"Our cool Freeper friends are now sure to adore us!"
But when next they logged on, oh, alas and alack!
The Shakers were blogging despite their attack!
The trolls said "What's this? They're back up and running?
But how can this be? Our plan was so cunning!
They picked up and moved to a new online space--
Who knew that the Internets were such a big place?
Their blog is still witty, their blog is still brainy,
Their blog is still ruthless to Bush and to Cheney,
They write about eagles and Mitt Romney's dog--
My god, this is one indestructible blog!"
And what happened then? Well, in Shakesville they say
That the trolls' dicks just fell off completely that day.
Let the lesson be learned, all you trolls in Troll-town:
You can shake up the Shakers...but not keep them down.
