Not Asking for Much

Not Asking for Much

A Poem by Lydia Shutter
"

rhyming vent

"






Not asking for much

just want to read a poem

why won’t that page open?

Starting to b***h and moan!

 

I type in the web address

push the little arrow to go

but nothing is happening

seems my world is in slo-mo!

 

Have cyber gremlins taken over

who is running Writer’s Café?

Some very angry emotions

I’m starting to display!

 

The words are itchy twitchy

they want to be written now

I see Erato in the corner

this behavior she’ll not allow!

 

Do I need to make an offer

to the gods of cyber space?

Is whomever runs the site

in a special hiding place?

 

At the end of my rope here

won’t be able to take much more

if it takes a whole lot longer

nouns and verbs will go to war!

 

But wait what is this now?

Writer’s Café just sent me mail

I’m starting to feel better

bad tidings I’ll exhale.

 

Yes, now my razzle is dazzled

I’ve begun to dance a jig

I back on the Writer’s Café site

my smile is really big!

Very funny and clever Lydia ! I wonder did the inspiration come to you while you waited to submit a different poem ?

Either way and remaining upbeat, if it weren't for the cyber gremlins I wouldn't have ever been able to laugh at this brilliant take on the flaws of modern technology !!

This poem is fun and very entertaining. I think it is also worth it for cyberspace to slow-mo once in a while to bear pieces such as this. I enjoyed it. :)

All seems to be so slow, when you wrote this as the glitches are back now.... We sometimes have to have patience with the technical world lol... at least poetry stays here forever, so we better drink a cup of coffee, and let the calm return, for our next review :D excellent rant my friend... veel liefs!

yes you hit it idiots the site is slowly going down hill
I definitely know the feeling, Lydi. When you have little time to do anything and are held up by a slow system, it really gets your blood boiling - certainly not a side efffect you want from your hobby. Your poem is amusing and fun. I like your rhyme - it adds to the humorous tone.
