Sometimes when it's early
I put on my coat
The sunrise means surely
That now we must vote.

Some said that we fans ought to vump,
Some said to bote.
Now, so as not to feel a chump,
I held with those who favored vump.
But if you are a true Browncoat,
It's vital to remember this:
If you, instead, should choose to bote,
That also is
Worthy of note.

Rhyming is easy
Sylable counting harder

If it's limericks you're trying to write,
Then it's true that sometimes you might
Have no trouble with rhyme,
Almost all of the time,
But find it terribly difficult to get the number of syllables in the last line right!

Another version of that last one:

If it's limericks you're trying to write,
Then sometimes it's true that you might
Have a difficult time
Trying to get the last line
To scan right.

Well, now I'm humped
Been an hour since I vumped
Trying to rhyme
Takes up my time
And all I can show is this bote.

"Firefly on TV Vote" (11/09/07)

Devotion's purest muse must be the poll
Who leads us hour by hour to Vump or Bote
Which fire resides deep in each voter's soul
Quenched only by the casting of a vote

Yet sixty minutes pass and then we hark
Rekindling of insistent inner flame
A conflagration grown out of the spark
For Firefly pre-eminence to claim

So early-rising we, or, late to bed
Return to our computers' warming glow
For, never will we have it gloating said
That, having reached the top, we were brought low

So, check the box, and add your vote to mine
And Firefly the shiniest will shine!

English-style sonnet VUMP!

(I attributed two syllables to the "fire" in "Firefly," per the implicit variant pronunciation in the dictionary, as well as per artistic license.)

Relating to a past that eventually drove Derrial Book to seek redemption through a religious calling...

Sounds almost like an interrogator, to me.

Bookish speculation VUMP!

Late 'cause I slept in mornin' manual stats VUMP!

Top two scores as of this morning:

(Previous day's stat)

Total votes Firefly: 462,767 (461,715)

Total votes Xena: 416,696 (416,187)

Yesterday, Browncoats voted 1,052 (1,163) times.

Yesterday, Xenites voted 509 (531) times.

(Xenites voted 543 (632) times less than Browncoats, yesterday).

Firefly is 46,071 (45,528) votes ahead of Xena. We were ahead of the combined daily vote total of the next top ranked 2 shows, Xena 509, and Bonanza 488!

Browncoat votes fell by 111 yesterday, 9.54%; Xenite votes fell by 22, 4.14%.

Our next, big goal is half a million, 37,233 (38,285) votes away, still about 35.39 (32.92) days out as we are currently voting.

4,853,898 (4,843,547) votes have been counted as of 11/10/07. 10,351 (11,128) votes were cast yesterday. In order to take ownership of 10% of all votes cast yesterday, we needed to vote 1,036 (1,113) times, which we exceeded by 16 (50) votes. We increased our share to 9.5339254% (9.5325804%) of all votes ever cast, and climbing.

Now that we've finally got that 10% slice of the pie on Rich Labonte's charts, let's make it official, with no round-up!

Our 1000+ votes/day streak still rebuilds at 12 days! We are starting to slack off on votes; Saturday votes going into Sunday scores, are where we are at risk to lose our streak. Also, we are losing ground on our daily percentage share, and, on beating the next two top-scoring shows, each day. Let's keep the numbers up!
