Ban every "Nicholas" called "Nick", each Susan self-called "Sue":
For Google know your real name much better than you do.
Rob Zimmerman and David Jones and "Lady" Germanotta:
Let's go report each profile; you aren't persona grata!
Has Shake-speare made a profile as "honest Will'm Shaxberd"?
He's banned! So's Will the Conquerer -- we call him "Will the Bastard".
Make Wendy Carlos go as "Walt," and Berry go by "Dan":
For outside Mountain View you're you, but there, "A man's a man."
Make Douglass "Bailey"; Truth "Baumfree"; and Malcolm go as "Little":
Your slave-name's now your Google-name; it's not meant to belittle.
To Publius and Common Sense, Xu Lai and Michael Anti:
We'd much prefer you out yourselves to every vigilante.
Let's go and fetch the Lord himself, and make him answer why
If he's called {Tetragrammaton}, he goes by "Adonai"!
And then let's go ban Google Plus! They mean no good, I think:
Why else arrive as Google "Plus", when they're named "Google Inc"?
And last let's hire Kvothe or Ged (both wizards of some fame)
To ban us all -- until we each can guess our secret name.
