Zena...I can't help but wonder who complained...
I bet their blog was ranked something like 8954,,,Of course, it would be due to someone spamming right? Not their horrific writing....oh no.....

Did I put in enough reptile images, TAPS cold, unblinking, basilisk,
lidless, tongues flickering. I could go on.

I loved the poem but I just couldn't help laughing at the thought of the one who caused the trouble hunkering in, lurking and watching to see what happens and gloating if things go his way. HAHAHAHA

Jokester, I didn't know him long, either, but you get acquainted quickly
here, I think, just through reading each other's posts, and playing that silly jackdaw game. It grows on you. I wish more people found it as entertaining as we did.

FYS, it is strange, I got back from last night's fire evacuation and was

Loved this. What a fitting time to post a work of this nature, particularly
when the PTB decided to adjust the site, mere days AFTER they booted Dave for work that would have found a home there.

High praise, Katray, you should jump in! Re: the spectators of this little spectacle, yes, it's not the kind of behavior that warms your heart and makes you love humanity, that's for sure.

I'm most creeped out by the ones who
ignited the firestorm.
What are they thinking as they are watching now? Satisfied?

"someone watches"
Pleas for mercy do not avail
the supplicant is cast into the void
castigated, chastised, beyond redemption
