Anal Retention

I think it’s time I stopped paying attention To those who suffer from **** retention, Who are stuck in a rut of raw vengeance Penning verses out of jealous vehemence, And lashing out with tirades of cattiness Written with their characteristic nastiness, Seems they cannot abide my liberal stances They’d rather regress than make advances, They tout protecting their individual liberty No concern for what’s good for you and me. written January 20, 2022

"And lashing out with tirades of cattiness" This is such a horrible use of a person's time.

I couldn't agree more. Whenever I have a tendency to lash out, I think maybe I should develop some positive idea. But, OTOH, I do lash out occasionally. I do have a temper, I admit. Rarely seen, but devastatingly effective when she blows!

I honestly do not know or indeed understand what on earth you did to deserve the abuse you have received Milton, but it has spread beyond you now we’re all in the same U boat apparently, even Mr Wolf is scratching his head at the madness, excellent riposte, cheers David

No I left a comment on her Nazi mask poem today, who knows I probably will be at some stage

Thanks, David. At the heart of it is simply a comment I made to her over a year ago that was meant to show caring. From that time on, she blocked me and begun to show utter disdain for anything I wrote or said. Why? I haven't the faintest idea. Yes, I believe many are seeing the light. Have you been blocked yet?

If anyone pays attention to what she writes, it's only for entertainment. When last I read her, I wanted to use a red pencil. I can't handle such gross misuse of language and grammar.

Yep. Such narcissists don't think they make errors.

Me neither, Jenna. And to call what she writes "poetry," is to dishonor the written word.

Battery drainers are not worth the time of day Milton. Avoid them like the plague. Tom

haha, Tom. In her case, her battery is corroded, and so is the one belonging to her lap dog.

That's a good way of putting it, Tom. Thanks!

I'll agree with every word you've written. Her cattiness is equal to her nastiness. "There's no fixing stupid," says Ron White.

Thanks so much, Lin. I think Ron White is right on target! Isn't it interesting that they asterisked out "anal" in my poem, but left it in the title?
