Stop Meddling

Who is it you're trying to please 
by meddling with such trivialities
Now you're fixin what isn't broken
and ignoring those who've spoken

What priorities are of value to you
seem to be usless to at least a few
people who see no need for change
those who find it weird and strange

We'll constructed piece Lin, hitting home with good points to hit with. I agree the changes don't make any difference. Have blessed day Gordon

I think it was done to bring more eyes towards the dreaded adverts...I don't think I need a hair transplant but maybe they know more than me

Some of the adverts that are disgusting to the eye are gruesome to view when a poem is about romance. It goes against the grain of the author's write. About them knowing more than you.....it's their site and we pay to keep them doing what pleases them. At least you no longer do and when my PM expires in May I won't pay either. I'm not posting images now... Isn't it the poem that should really matter?

Bravo for putting it so succinctly , I hope they re consider I don't like the change to the right hand side Lin and I've mailed them about it ... if it's not broken why try to fix it.:-( hugs Jan xx

They're blind to more important issues, aren't they, Jan. And those they see are usually ignored.

Yes change for the sake of change can be frustrating. However change can be good. One thing for sure it is inevitable. Here’s hoping all the changes in your life are positive.

Hi Rick. We become creatures of habit, unwilling to change our minds about many things, and while you're correct that SOME change is good, trivial things that upset the apple carts of many seem to have no purpose. Nice to see you.
