Taking the Time

I dislike leaving reviews only to have them deleted...so that particular person will not hear from me again...ed

Taking the time…


 


I do take the time,


To review your rhyme,


Even though I don’t like backstabbers,


To me they are just plain slime,


But still in all, I do take that time…


 


A waste it seems to be so clear,


As no matter what I say or how I say it,


I see it is removed, deleted, possibly for fear?


Fear of what others will think,


Fear of your armor getting a chink?


No worries there man, no more will I waste even a dime…


 


I do not delete nor remove,


Unless I find it done to me,


With little or no reason, other than to try to improve,


But to be honest, I see no improvement,


Now that this has been said, let me go and have a good bowel movement…

Okay Ed I think I did enough of that today without any excuse but you now have given me whole new meaning for one. By the way I sure am glad I am not among the interlectuals. I reckon I am just challenged that way.

This has happened to me too, from one person. I really don't care, it's not my loss. Great expression.

Hey Ed, your soft heart is showing. :-p
I'm sorry to hear that this has happened to you and can understand your frustration. When you take the time to write a review, it seems rude that someone would delete it. I have only ever deleted two reviews and both were from a person I did not trust and found mentally unstable. I will always leave reviews in place - even those not flattering. In fact I prefer honesty to insincere back slapping.
Thanks for sharing
Chanti
