Booom shacca lacca lacca

Longfellow,

That was just pathetic.

there once was an ellen blog troll
who couldn't get her head out of a hole
she refused to see facts
and fell on her a**
now she's out of control

You can complain about the weather.
Or mortality.
For all the good it will do. There is something called the Serenity Prayer, which contains some handy wisdom.
It explains the importance in distinguishing between the things one can change, and the things one can't.

"God grant me the serenity 
 to accept the things I cannot change; 
 courage to change the things I can;
 and wisdom to know the difference."

--Reinhold Niebuhr

Marina Baktis has proven she lacks this wisdom.
You cannot change anything if you insist on banging your head on the unchangeable, by refusing to accept reality as it is no matter how unpleasing it may be.
The thing that Marina could not change was that a little dog had been incorrectly placed beyond her reach, and beyond her control.
Incorrectly.
This dog had been given a home. Marina was not consulted. This was wrong. Marina and her organization had been disrespected by a very powerful person. Ellen and Portia had an obligation and a commitment that they violated. Marina had an obligation and a commitment to the well being of this young and fragile puppy.
This obligation and commitment that Marina had accepted was thrown out, unfortunately, when Marina failed to see the reality of the situation as it was. Instead, she saw it only in terms of herself, ignoring the feelings of Iggy, the other people involved, and the obvious consequences of her actions; which should have been anticipated by any reasonable person. Marina was justifiably upset and was not reasonable. Too bad Marina failed to realize that she had already lost control of Iggy. Too bad Marina could not forsee that for a rescue worker to forcibly remove a dog from a home he had already adapted to without showing a good reason would be a controversial and questionable move at best, and should have been resorted to only as an absolute last resort. Too bad she continues to blame Ellen for the bad press she herself created by her radical and unkind actions.
Too bad Marina chose to damage the reputation and and credibility of rescues everywhere due to the fact that she lacked the common decency to stand up and admit she was upset and acted in haste.

Both the ASPCA and Humane Society disapproved of Marina's handling of this situation.
Sometimes, the weather gets bad. Sometimes things happen to us that are unfair. Acting like a jerk tends not to correct these injustices and inconveniences that life dishes out.
Rules are not to be blindly followed because they are "rules". What exactly are the rules for?
What are the rules trying to achieve?
In this case the rules existed so that a puppy would wind up in a lifetime healthy and happy home. The excuse given for Marina removing Iggy from just such a home was that she was enforcing the Rules. She lied and broke the law to do so.
Too bad Marina lacked the vision to distinguish between the things that she could change and the things she could not.
Yes, she got away with illegally and cruelly removing a dog from his home. But she cannot change that she did this, in direct and ironic contradiction to her mandate to put dogs in homes, not forcibly remove them out of anger and pettiness.
So many seem to nastily gloat on the fact that Marina has "won".

Has she?

THE ORIGINAL (often imitated, never duplicated):

there once was a rescue for mutts
some moms with their heads up their butts
they acted like nazis
and loved paparazzis
but ended up hiding in huts

there once was a blog with a troll
who wouldn't stay down in its hole
when trying to speak,
it tripped on its beak
resulting in loss of control

I see you've responded in rhyme
nice try, but it ain't worth a dime
you can try as you might
if it takes the whole night
but you see, you're just wasting your time

I pity this poor limerick writer
looks like she pulled an all nighter
she tried to get jiggy
but if she had Iggy
her poem is so bad he would bite her

It is easy to discern the pathetic attempts at undermining a genuinely funny original commentary. In this case imitation is not flattery, as it is so poorly done.

STOP STEALING MY NAME

But this is even better...

"There once was a show host named Ellen.
She loved her small animal and melon.
Shed signed her own contract,
Than broke it in conflict,
And cried as if someone were felon."

An arrogant star named Ellen
Went through dogs with abandon
A rescue took Iggy, Ellen got wiggy
And sent her crazed fans to destroy them.

"there once was a rescue for mutts
some moms with their heads up their butts
they acted like nazis
and loved papparazzis
but ended up hiding in huts"

Now that's good ! ;-)
