After one whole week of Wiki
Like a schmendrick I awake
With no Bromo Seltzer handy,
I don't even quake.

Conflict's not a new sensation;
I've done pretty well, I think.
But this ferchachta imitation
Put me on the blink

I'm wild again
Defiled again
Simpering, whimpering, and riled again
Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I

I couldn't write
And wouldn't write
Until I could write where I shouldn't spite
Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I

Lost my head but what of it?
My mistake I agree.
Filll's such a laugh, and I love it
Although the laugh's on me.

I'll sing to him
This spring to him
And scatter the allies that cling to him
Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I

He's kept enough
He's schlept enough
And yet where it counts he's adept enough
Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I

A pill he is
That Filll, he is
All pwned and I'll bleep him until he is
Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled like me.

When he balks he is seeking
Words to get off his chest.
Editorially speaking
He's at his very best.

Oh we've seen a lot
I mean a lot
But now we're like squabbling teens a lot
Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I

We're vexed again
Perplexed again
Thank God we can't be multiplexed again
Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I

Wise at last
My eyes at last
Are cutting you down to your size at last
Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled no more

Burned a lot
But learned a lot
And now I'm chagrined 'cuz I'm spurned a lot
Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled no more

Couldn't eat
Was dyspeptic
Wiki's so hard to bear;
Now my gut's antiseptic since I've been bounced out of there

Romance finis
Last chance finis
Those ants that invaded these pants finis
Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled no more.
