Notes About The Poem

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Nursery Rhymes Only Contest - sponsored by Eve Roper

To Eve’s winning contestants, I write this poem for you.
I have read each one and commented till I am blue.

You won’t see them there however.
I’ve been getting an error forever.

Your nursery rhymes are clever, cute, unique, and precious.
It is the comment fields that are the most treacherous.
So know I have read and do wish you congrats!
My non-existent comments will skew your stats.

It’s “Error!” “Error!” “Error!”
I am a “System 500” starer.
Where is that IT repairer?

Should I cross my fingers or say a prayer?

Wow! This is so clever! Although sometimes I experienced the same thing but I did it persistently or went back when I've time again. I love this creative poem and made me smile, but also saddened by the reality of error 500. Thank you so much for this amazing write and your loving comments on my poem dearest poet friend. God bless you always and your writings. Hugs

It has happened several times for me. Different poets and now this contest snafu. I tried to comment to your "Long Day For Mrs Whisker" but received the Error 500. I thought it so cute and clever and written with such attention to detail in the photo prompt. A lovely poem! Thank you Mala! :)
