I was debating on the internet.
I hadn't lost all my patience yet,
But then an argument was made that got me quite upset.
They tried to take me down with a dirty move.
Said I was wrong, and they showed me "proof"
Misrepresenting all I'd said so I would lose.
It's a Strawman, waiting in a lie.
He's trying to deceive and get inside our
little minds.
There's a Strawman, baiting your reply.
If you know what it means then you can see
how to survive; it's only:
A diversion tactic;
Don't you get distracted.
Make objections at it.
They can't disprove your claim so they pick
on you.
Ad hominem, but not even true,
So if it happens let me say exactly what to
do:
Confront those strangers all across the world
wide web,
Remind them they must refute the words you
said.
Or, failing that, you could just call them
a cock instead.

Reductio ad absurdum means you'll never get
it right,
There's a Strawman, meant to make you cry,
The arguments, I've heard 'em but all clever
ones will find it's only:
A diversion tactic;
Don't you get distracted.
If you make one, retract it.
