Poem Closed Down

 
The seed of a poem lay dormant in my heart. When the lads planted it, weeds overgrew it — the damn city closed it.

SORRY — UNDER RENNOVATION
We must take it slow.
Don’t want any injuries to occur during the rebuild.

DEEMED FAULTY METER
By order of the city.
And the city are real sticklers,
so we are going to error on the side of caution.

STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS.
This has been a real damed bugaboo right from the start.
I feel the foundations might require examination.
We plan to move carefully.

DANGEROUSLY CLUTTERED WITH ADJECTIVES.
Some poor fool got in here with a thesaurus
and did a real number.

CONFUSINGLY REPETITIVE.
Nothing to add here.

OVERALL — NOT VERY COHESIVE
Need to tie up loose ends.

 

Hope To Upgrade & Reopen This Poem — Very 😉 Soon…

maybe?

 


See you when…

      1. My comment is still not showing up when I post it, but will see if this one does when I reply to your comment. Your site used to save my info and now it isnt doing that.

        This poem is REALLY clever and made me smile.

        1. Sorry you are having trouble. From my side, I see all your pertinent info is saved. It also shows my site has approved your comments 56 times this year. I don’t always understand the way the internet acts with websites. I have issues occasionally crop up where a site I visit and leave comments regularly, will suddenly not recognize me — then the next time all is fine? I think between hackers, the oddities of site hosters like Bluehost et. al., competing service providers like Xfinity et. al., the quirkiness of spam guards like Akismet, ‘cookies’, competing platforms like Blogger and WordPress, the glitchyness in compatibility among Apple and Google et. al., and “BIG BROTHER” snooping — it’s probably fortunate the internet works at all.
