Notes About The Poem

Written 8th August, 2026 for Get a Room Poetry Contest sponsored by Margarita Lillico 

Get a Room

They flooded the server with chat,  
 With their memes of a skeptical cat.  
“Get a room, or it’s doom!”  
Typed the mod with a boom,  
 “Or I’ll nuke the whole channel now scat!”

Oh god, not cat pictures. I remember those days of the internet so well, all those cat memes. It made me into a dog person, LOL! Great witty poem, I really enjoyed!😀

I still have the screen saver for cats that has fish swimming across the screen. Also pretty sure I have the dog licking the screen too. 🐈🐈‍⬛🐕🐶🐩🦦🤔

Thank you Christopher, I looked at the obvious scenarios and they didn't appeal so I looked elsewhere that the term could be used.😀
