Three Postings!

The day I joined ABC tales
I felt ‘was the end of my woes
My genius was back on the rails
I could write down my crap; call it prose!

I sought and unscrambled old text
And typed till my fingers were sore
Though sleeplessness made me quite vexed
My brain kept on screaming; more, more!

I stopped when I had twenty files
And searched my new site for just how
I could transfer my works – there were piles
My eagerness furrowed my brow

Find ‘Write’, copy-paste, press submit
Come on old P.C. do your stuff
It was slower than wading through shit;
Though Light-speed wouldn’t be fast enough!

I found, it took no time at all
This was easy, no worries, I sighed!
Other members I’d surely enthral
Then I saw it; my jaw dropped, I cried!

There on the ‘home page’ was a sign
That caused me to wobble and sway
Dear members, if you’d be so kind
THE LIMIT’S THREE POSTINGS A DAY!

It was signed by T.COOK; who was he?
What joker could possibly hope
To restrict such pure talent, as me?
He must be on some kind of dope!

My research showed me, that I was wrong
T.C. was the chief gaffer here
And the reason the rule did belong
Very shortly became very clear

As I scoured the various pieces
Favourite writers I pulled from the mix
But I found that frustration increases
When one person stacks postings like bricks

On one day I counted eleven;
He/she had a whole page for themselves.
Clearly in Shakespearean heaven
They had written a novel by twelve!

The story within was rewarding
I would normally have asked them for more
But given the space they were hoarding
It might tempt them to go for the score

So please, if you’re new here, have pity;
Though you may be far better than us.
Have respect for our second rate ditty
And you’ll find that we make no fuss

So welcome, come in and be merry
I’d love for to read what you write
T. Cook might just give you a cherry
And we will not treat you like s……
