OKLAHRAMA - with apologies to Rogers and Hammerstein

Us RAMmers and the Spammers won't be friends
Oh.. us RAMmers and the Spammers won't be friends
They like to cheer and whoop
When they get in a news group
That's why RAMmers and the Spammers cain't be friends

Mystery folk should stick together
Mystery folk should all be a chum
Mystery folk ignore the Spammers
It ain't their fault that they're so dumb!

I'd like to say a word for the RAMmer
We make up a bunch o'rules then flout 'em
For folk who say we're daft on Paretsky, Crais and Grafton
We don't hardly ever seem to talk about 'em.

The Rammer is a wise and literate fellow
He has a TBR pile by his bed
He has a strange addiction to the field of crime fiction
But we like to talk of other things instead

The Spammer is a curious individual
They're spread far and wide across the land
They sit all day in front of their computer
And I bet they've got their joy stick in their hand...

I'd like to say a word for the Spammer
His brain may be slow and microscopic
He has a dull outlook 'cause he never reads a book
And chastises us for never bein' on topic

I'd like to say a word fer the Spammer
To be accepted is for what he seems to hanker
oh, isn't it a shame what he'll do to earn the name
Big Chief Anal Retentive Wanker...

I'd like to say a word to the Rammers
Maybe you should keep your killfiles handy
Spammers swear and cuss 'cause they cain't be one of us
They don't understand our Modus Operandi...

Mystery folk should stick together
Mystery folk should all be a pals
Mystery folk ignore the Spammers
Kindly go and kick them in the bals....

Us RAMmers and the Spammers won't be friends
Oh.. us RAMmers and the Spammers won't be friends
Spammer only have only goal
To try and catch us in a Troll..
That's why RAMmers and the Spammers cain't be friends
