An ode to Drupal

I hate the way you talk to meAnd the way you cut your hairI hate the way you drive my carI hate it when you stare

I hate your big dumb combat bootsAnd the way you read my mindI hate you so much that it makes me sickIt even makes me rhyme

I hate the way you're always rightI hate it when you lieI hate it when you make me laughEven worse when you make me cry

I hate the way you're not aroundAnd the fact that you didn't call

0 messages

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate youNot even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
