Open the Borders

... Let's use our logic to determine - - It's long overdue - - We need to open the borders It's time for business to thrive once more Tourism definitely experienced suffering enough - - Let's lobby for this - - Lots of people will be reunited with loved ones Schools now functioning in full force Simple shopping trips completed quickly - - Government, Get it done!! - - Trucks no longer need to pile up in queues by the border Goods delivered more quickly to distributors Citizens smoothly flowing from one county to the next - - We're without much sense - - - To think the virus won't return in some dimension Undoubtedly it will worm its hideous germ in further from here Possibility of complete suppression is ridiculous! - - The cure is nigh, don't worry - - Together, our country will see brighter horizons Indeed, the entire World will see heightened benefits Of the sensible policy to reopen closed borders * * 'A' Lipogram * * 27th August 2020

Ah, I read "Rejection Letter" first, then this one. I imagine this is your true entry and the other was just a bit of funning around. You are certainly up for a great challenge! This one read very smoothly, and with a strong message. Well done and best of luck to you, Sigrid ~ John

Thanks, John. I actually decided to swap them after writing this.... A risk for sake of humour is worth it, in my book.! Ta for feedback. Hugs

You're a darling! .. even a rejection letter to poem contest Sponsor. I refuse to submit, write, etc! In your silly competition - my skill is superior etc. etc. This could be a humerous one.!

Great write that too without A. When contest came my only thought was how is this possible. Lot of hardwork would have gone on this. Take care. Warm regards, Rama

Thank you so much. Well I think Emile's next Contest will be the 'e' lipogram, which is far worse! I cheated and just collected a few words without 'a', then stayed on topic. Do one, I know you can, and it will soar!
