To Insert the Screw

I'm fed up with the trolling
  I know what I will do
Now that I am outraged
  I'll insert the screw...

Hey! Maybe wait a minute
  I'm acting way too rash
Revenge is not productive
  Why respond to utter trash...

Yet! Trolls deserve an answer
  though I'm no cop in blue
Perhaps there is no choice
  But to insert that screw... 

Drat! I confess I'm chicken
  My feathers surely show
No one ever taught me
  To say that one word ~ 'No!'

Lindsay Laurie Date: 12/21/2021 7:16:00 PM Hello Gershon ... some 'rats' thrive on a diet of words; the words of a reply to their garbage. I'm with you all the way here Gershon - Lindsay Login to Reply

P.S. Awtry Date: 12/19/2021 7:32:00 PM Trolls and bullies—good golly Miss Molly I’ll just take the trolley! But seriously I worry about anyone who is fighting to win the mean contest—not sure what the prize is! Thank you for this piece for some levity! Login to Reply

Terry Flood Date: 12/19/2021 3:53:00 PM No need to say ‘No’, Gershon. Simply press the delete button and delight in the knowledge that they wasted three or four hours stringing a sentence together and all to no avail. Terry Login to Reply

Rico Leffanta Date: 12/19/2021 10:56:00 AM I am all for screwing as it pumps oxygen to the brain! Aloha! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 12/19/2021 6:37:00 PM Brilliant, Rico! Shine on, gw

Bill Baker Date: 12/19/2021 7:37:00 AM Intriging thoughts on the subject Gershon. Reminded me of the song (way back called) I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No... Last time I heard it was it our 8th grade talent show lol I may have got a little of track with this comment, an old mind sometimes waunders. Bill Login to Reply

Tom Cunningham Date: 12/19/2021 1:23:00 AM It makes me angry to see what's going on here with bullying and trolling, I was brought up to treat others with respect and reminded others may have a different opinion to mine and to respect that. When I was working I worked with people from different cultures and faiths and got on with everyone although we didn't often share the same views, that's where RESPECT comes into play.

I called them Wop, Nip, Sink, Greaser, Coon, Slant Eyes -- and nobody ever felt offended. We did everything together and everyone had the other's back. Those days are GONE!

L Milton Hankins Date: 12/18/2021 9:30:00 PM Believe me, gw, I am fed up with the trolling, too. But, some on here just won't shut up. And, I think you know who I mean. I always leave positive comments, but when I read some of the crap that has been said about me, it makes my blood boil. I really got angry when Bro. Jacob left us. He wrote to me things that had been said to him, and I could hardly believe it! We have to do something, so I've taken a stand and a course of action.

I believe it can be cleaned up...and it must be cleaned up! L Milton Hankins Date: 12/18/2021 9:33:00 PM I am blocking some people so they won't have access to my comments section, and I'm encouraging others to do the same. I am responding to comments made under other people's poems that are specifically addressed to me. You know, when a certain person called me a Nazi and suggested that I was a communist working against our country, that pretty much did it! I am going through and making a specific list of derisive names and reporting again to Admin. Hope something will be done. I'm not pure as the driven snow, but I am defending my honor!
