Stymied By Soup

I posted a poem on the Soup
But my smiley face turned to a droop
	For instead of one post
	There were 30 (at most);
Guess the site made a really big bloop.

In trying my best to delete
(For who needs to see poems that repeat?)
	There was some kind of glitch
	And “Delete” made a switch
So my poem list is now incomplete.

They deleted three months of my work
All the comments, too (such a sweet perk!).
	I complained to the Team
	Those who reign there supreme
But the answer seemed typed with a smirk:

“If Delete was the button you hit,
Though by accident or if legit,
	All your poems have been lost;”
	But I feel double-crossed
For no wrong-doing did they admit.

Though a reason, at least, would be nice,
“Sorry” just doesn't serve to suffice;
	Seems the people in charge
	Sent a message writ large:
If you need our help, better think twice!

A note about your sock gone rouge. I was putting on my pair of lounge pants that I haven't wore in a while. Poked one leg through, and then the other. And whatta ya know. My long lost sock decided to join it's brother. The world is back on it's axis. :)

PS is just so large that by the time they get to your problem you have already taken care of it yourself. Limeri ks are a challenge for me. You wrote these wonderfully. Hope you dont lose anymore. Hugs and Merry Christmas!

Ouch, Ilene! I always backup my work, whether is poems or other kinds of work. Computers are great when they work, horror when they don't. I give you credit for writing these lines in limerick form. Nice job as always. And, yes, I also learned a great deal with my dandelion research, although I already knew some things about it. It does make a good wine, BTW, and, yes, it is delicious when prepared properly. Merci. / M
