The following song parody is based upon recent events on this board. It's written from the point of view of our own good Dr. Midnight, and is sung to the tune of "Tie A Yellow Ribbon ('Round the Old Oak Tree)" by Tony Orlando and Dawn. (I apologize in advance if I inadvertantly get that song stuck in your heads all day as a result of reading what follows.)

POST AN "I READ" MESSAGE (TO THE STORY HOUR)
I'm feeling down, I don't know why
Maybe 'cause of late the action's kind of dry
If you're reading this story and there's more you'd like to see
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still read me
If you still read me
Post an "I read" message to the story hour
I've been feeling low
Kind of sad and dour (sad and dour)
If I don't see an "I still read" post there real soon
I won't swear or cuss
I won't make a fuss
I'll just stop what I'm doin'
If I don't see an "I still read" post there real soon
Help me with this insanity
'Cause I'm my biggest critic, don't you see?
I worry 'bout my post count
And how I stack 'gainst PC
A simple "I still read, Doc" is all that I need to see
And so, I'm saying please...
Post an "I read" message to the story hour
I've been feeling low
Kind of sad and dour (sad and dour)
If I don't see an "I still read" post there real soon
I won't swear or cuss
I won't make a fuss
I'll just stop what I'm doin'
If I don't see an "I still read" post there real soon
Now the whole damn board is postin'
And I can't believe I see
...A hundred "I still read" posts waiting there...for...me!
I'll update soon, mmm, mmm

By the way - I want you all to know I had to search for the lyrics for "Tie A Yellow Ribbon" on the Internet before writing the parody version. I don't want anyone thinking I knew the song by heart or anything. Because I didn't. Really.
