Guess Who?

I'm usenet's greatest poet,
   At least that's what they say.
The Village People love my work
   And I'm not even gay.

>

The most prolific poet
    The internet has known,
I've written fifty thousand poems
    In the past week alone.

>

I sit at my computer
    And dream of South and North,
And just like vomit from a drunk
    The poems come gushing forth.

It's sometimes hard to type them,
    They all come out so fast,
And some of them are really long
    While some are just half-vast.

I've never learned poetics;
    I know that I don't need 'em
Because I simply write the poems;
    Let other people read 'em.

Oh once Bob Dylan phoned me
    But didn't praise my work
So I hung up on him. He's just
    A pissbum and a jerk.

>

I know he's simply jealous,
    Like all those guys, of me.
That's why they bury all my stuff;
    It's a conspiracy.

>

I know I could be published
    And everyone would buy,
But knowing the conspiracy
    Why would I even try?

>

So I just stay on usenet
    Where true success depends,
Not on your money, or your fame,
    But on your online friends.

>

I'm friends with half a dozen
    True poets just like me.
(Sometimes we write, sometimes we fight
    With the conspiracy.)

>

They say my poems are perfect,
    And all I have to do
Is thank all six, and tell them all
    Their poems are perfect, too.

Does everyone think this poem is about them...?

I'm sure everyone knows who this poem is about.
