We really can't stay
(But, partner, a Sue's out there)
We got to go away
(But, partner, there's squick out there)

The console has made
(And look, wouldn't you just hate)
That awful BEEP!
(If I saw things that made me weep)

The SO will start to worry
(Commas falling down in a flurry)
The Big Thorn will be pacing the floor
(Listen to the author's note roar)

So really we'd better scurry
(The tenses have all gone blurry)
But maybe just half a drink more
(Got some Bleepka here; let me pour)

Upstairs might think
(Partner, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink
(No plot to be had out there)

I wish you would see
(Listen to my fervent plea)
That we can't stay
(That Sue will make us all her prey)

We do have a duty, partner
(Could be our death to charge her)
At least we ought to say that we tried
(But we could both end up fried)
We really can't stay
(Partner, just stay here)

Ahh, but a Sue's out there

We simply must go
(But, partner, there's angst out there)
The answer is no
(Torture and rape out there)

Though our RC is
(Better lay low through this)
So nice and warm
(Look at that punctuation storm)

Upstairs will be suspicious
(But this Sue is so malicious)
They'll know if we don't go in
(With purple eyes and ivory skin)

They'll punish us for delaying
(How, they're not even paying)
Well maybe just half a drink more
(Never such a badfic before)

We've got to start now
(But, partner, there's smut out there)
Say, lend me a bow
(It's up to your butt out there)

I hear what you say
(And she is too hard to slay)
But don't you see
(How can we do this, you and me)

Sanction will be forthcoming
(The plotline is truly mind-numbing)
Vacation days will be revoked
(Vacation days are just a cruel joke)
We really can't stay
(Get over that holdout)

Aah, but a Sue's out there
