Who's In Charge

Who's in charge here? Can't they hear us? No ear, perhaps!
*Inspired by technical difficulties on the Soup and written for Dr. Ram's Than-Bauk contest.

dang, I can't find a way to soupmail you. Linda wanted me to tell you that you need to call your haiku a haiku instead of senryu for her contest before she judges and she said she couldn't soupmail you. I can't either. so I am coming here to let you know. Well, whatever you labeled yours, it has to be the other way. Haiku or senryu, I forgot which. Have to be in class now!!! Luv, andrea

A fine entry for the contest Carolyn. I know what you mean. Sometimes it's like we're all alone. ;) I'd sure like to know why the site keeps crashing on me. Good job. God BVless, JB

Sometimes I wonder if they want to hear us Carolyn. Granted, on this occasion, they have had their hands full. I still struggle at times to get on. I think they need a little bedding time to settle on the servers, and eradicate all the problems the hacker caused. Good luck in Dr. Rams contest, hugs 4 U :)

I wonder if the Soup maintainance crew will get the message. I finally had time to write Friday night and couldn't even get on the site until today. Very good poem and good luck in the contest.

We've had a couple of days with technical difficulties and I really get frustrated. You said it so well.
