[Megan the Phantom Girlie]

When Wicked fangirls wear me down
With rumors of Hilary Duff
When Sweeney fans all bash LuPone
When Rentheads get too tough
I worry that, of m.net, I have had my share-
Enough!
Until I remember there are those who dance the midnight dance
While rarely being maddened
I go to the Cats board to take a chance that I may not be saddened.
It's true, we wonder if Tugger's gay
And how everyone is related
But the niceness of it all
Makes me feel compensated
The fangirls here are sweet and love
Those dancing kitty-cats
I don't once hear "FIYERO'Z HOTT!!!!1"
On the Cats board, I relax.
With productions popping up all over
Near everyone's in the show
And they share their experiences
To keep us in the know.
The Cats board gives my brain a rest
From shrieking Eppie-boppers
And if one does invade
The mods step in like coppers
Hooray for the everlasting cat! I say
Hooray for the Jellicles too!
Thank God there's a Cats board on M.net today
To help me see things through.

(Note: I have really been disgusted by the stupidity level on some of the other boards. Thanks, you guys, for sparing my sanity.)

What a lovely poem!

You know, I've noticed a long time ago that Cats boards always have very friendly atmosphere, the members are very supportive, and the boards are really sane, unlike many others... Maybe, people who like Cats are of some special kind?..

[Rumblepurr]

The pun is inevitable... Very "poetic", my dear...

Thanks for considering this Forum is the sanest of the group... We have had our times, though, when sanity and peacefulness fled like... well, like a stepped on tail... For the most part now, there are fine people here - both seen and lurking.

That's so sweet! Natasha, I think you are right when there is something speical about the group in the Cats forum: we are all united by our love for the musical and how it makes us feel and I believe we enjoy sharing that with others.

But are we really all that sane? *laughs manically and runs into the closet with her Fraggle plushies*

[Megan the Phantom Girlie]

Well, sanity is relative. We may seem mad compared to the "standard" population, but when you look at what's going on on the other boards, we're a bunch of tax accountants.

[Flitterbug]

The sanity exists only in this sphere of the fandom, I'm afraid.

[Idiosylph]

Love the poem! This forum really is a nice one. Especially the last year more or less. We've had a lot less trolling and other such incidents.

I say it's due to our great mods!

[Drumdraper]

With only the random bouts of insanity.

[MrsJemimaMistoffelees]

Aw, that was sweet! Thanks Megan the Phantom Girlie! ^_^

Sweet poem Megan !

I love that part :
I don't once hear "FIYERO'Z HOTT!!!!1"

It's right that at least the last months have been quit quiet... nice.

[Rum_Tum_Tigger]

*Gapes* *This* is the sanest board on the site?! Christ, I'd hate to see what the others are like! ---Hehe, that almost rhymes....

Awww, thanks Megan! I'm glad you think we're somewhat sane.

[Lady Jemima]

Great poem! Lol, I do think we are the sanest board on M.net! Everyone here is very sweet, friendly, and concerned about his or her fellow members. I love the camaraderie of this board. *hugs to my fellow Jellicle friends*

[Etcetera Kitten]

What this poem say is so very true! I have once decided to explore the other musicals forums here, to find out they are not quite as friendly as the Cats one.

What I mean is that, on other boards, people seem to tend to disagree on everything and make fun of each other's taste, which annoys me.

I love you guys and I am proud to be part of this "sane" community! Cats it a beautiful thing and it's nice to see it makes us stick together so well! ^^

I've basically been just a lurker for the last three months, but I feel touched by your poem anyway, Megan. Thanks!

Nice poem, it's all very true. 2006/end of 2005 has been a lot quieter than say..july/august of 2005ish with the whole Evan thing.

*slinks back into lurking*

[Drumdraper]

Did I miss something? What Evan thing?

[Belle]

You missed it, be glad. Don't drag it up again.

[Drumdraper]

Okay, don't want to raise any hurt feelings. So...how bad can the other forums get? I mean teeny-bopper bad or l33t chatter that prattles onto useless banter and flame wars that waste bandwidth. Much like I'm doing now.

[Rumblepurr]

As Belle said, be glad you are oblivious to the past. Let sleeping Pollicles lie...
