The Blogger's Verse

I came across this passage from Auden's Letter to Lord Byron on my lunch break a short while ago. Thought it kind of summed up the blogger's urge rather nicely:

I want a form that's large enough to swim in,
And talk on any subject that I choose,
From natural scenery to men and women,
Myself, the arts, the European news:
And since she's on a holiday, my Muse
Is out to please, find everything delightful
And only now and then be mildly spiteful
