UPDATE: Alas, MercuryBot has spoiled my fun by giving me a refund.
But the poem lives on in the blockchain!

This is a quick little tale,
About mercurybot@mercurybot the thief.
Who I messaged 4 times over
9 days and got no relief.

Like many on Steemit,
I paid for an upvote.
But mercurybot@mercurybot took
My money to gloat

Over the fact that .2 SBD
Was nothing to the bot
And everything to me.
I hate taking this shot

Because in the end
I'm the one who looks
Small and petty,
While the crook's

Going to be able to
Continue charging
Other minnows,
Thus enlarging

Its own value.
Powering up every day
while I'm forced
To while away

Waiting for weak rewards
watching a thieving
bid bot grow fat and
I am robbed of its leaving.
