Listen to poem:
The List
I was waiting by my mailbox
To hear news from the Soup
I know they like to keep me
Somewhere, in the loop
I couldn’t wait to see, me
Somewhere at the top
Of The Hundred best read poems
That reader's thought were Hot
While I nestled in my chair
Took my subtle writers pose
With my thumb under my chin
And my finger, beside my nose
I started to peruse
The list presented clear
While looking for My Name
I found it wasn’t there
Chorus
Perhaps an over site, Could sure explain, a lot
They failed to read, the comments, And all the praise, I got
But then, it came to me, Those guys are really smart
My poems are so good, They're simply off the charts
I couldn’t wait to see, me
Somewhere at the top
Of The Hundred best read poems
That reader's thought were Hot
I started to peruse
The list presented clear
While looking for My Name
I found it wasn’t there
