My good friend Ed
Told me something that was said about Ted
It seems that petty minds are at work
And they are acting like real jerks

This is a poetry site
Not a place to scare and fright
Not to mention names, of a sort
This fatal gossip you should abort

Oh My golly gee
I guess that word you shouldn’t see
Now it is I who will be accused
Of choosing words often misused

Get a life and leave others alone
Keep you pranks to the telephone
You wonder why Ive been gone so long
Cause I’m sick of seeing poets doing wrong

You all at one time defended the right to speak
Now you are all lowly insects who hunt and sneak
You condemn what you do not know
Thinking good of all you sew


And for those from the country that starts with I
Your comments have caught my eye
Keep your “beautiful as you are” to yourself
Or find yourself on a prearranged shelf
Just because you cant choose a bride
Doesn’t mean your eyes have to be so wide

I once heard about a thing called karma
I suggest you should all watch your dharma
Cause when you go out to attack
It is your soul that you will soon lack

Never mind Morchuis O'inChrory Shaw O'inchrory Alasdair Sithe Thomas Teoma Ughdair Thomas J Shaw Noisy Bubba. He is only five foot tall and has a lisp. He sends his poetry out to be laundered.

You tell 'em, Gumby. His knickers are in a twist...too tight [accounts for the lisp] or something... [smiles]

How DARE he pick on Maria?! Harrumph! This is a bunch of hogwash (what is hogwash, anyway?).. em.. I'm 5' tall.. but I'm a viking! Jaysus, I loved your poem.. almost forgot why I came here.. IT'S THE POETRY, STUPID! Thanks for speaking for the masses.. Father Gumby! hehe. katy.

I think TRC sums it up nicely, this is not a poetry site, but a non democratic social club, were the incumbents want to preserve their own selfish interests at all costs, even up to and including losing their freedom of speech by mandatory censorship.
Mob rule is alive and well in AD.

Hi Morchuis
Yes I am a stretchable kind of toy
and doing battle gives me joy
When I find a worthy foe
I tell him just where to go

I came to read;
I came to write,
not fall in love
or start a fight.
This poem I know
is really trite,
but
dammit, Jim, I’m a writer, not a mediator!

Oh, come on Gumby, you didn’t expect me to rhyme the WHOLE thing, did you?!!

Aren’t you glad you’re rubber – nuthin’ sticks! One more thing: careful where you Pokey your nose.

Hi Marilyn.

Not that it is of any real interest to me,
But do tell me from which publishing house,
Could I obtain a copy or perhaps (copies),
Of your illustrious submissions in a printed format, I get paid handsomely for mine.
(Technical manuals) you ought to try it some time.
You seem to be a bit thin skinned to be a really a successful writer!.

Whats the matter Inchrory dickory dock
can't you just stay with fighting the men
or does a sissy boy like you have to increase his testerone level by going after women.

I take offense to Mr. Inchroryshaw comment in reference to:
"...why would one want go in a book store?

That is for proper writers, those that don’t have kitchen sinks tied to their apron strings.

We are the jolly band of social misfits, Jesus grannies, bored housewives, Holy in continents
And, absolute no hopers."

I don't consider my self a "social misfit" or "no hoper"

I like to stay out of these arguments, but that I couldnt ignore.

Speak for yourself Mr.Inchroryshaw

Gumby...great write

Hi Gumby,
I love the Karma part, too true! AD has not been much fun lately, seems there is always someone looking for a fight, and threatening other writers for issues that have NOTHING to do with them. It just amazes me, how people who have never met, can have so much to argue about. We all have a difference of opinion, that is what makes the world go around. This is supposed to be a writer's board, not Dysfunction Junction. I think it is a disgrace that AD allows all of this to go on, it discredits the writers who are here truly looking to share and read poetry. Would they go into a book store, and splatter paint over all the books they disagree with? Never mind, scratch
that, in some cases I am sure they would. Damn and I thought I had problems with
duality! LMAO!!!

Love,
Maria
