These last few years I have witnessed many changes in my being,
Some were expected but others I had no way of foreseeing.
If someone would have said I’d be writing poetry a few years back,
I probably would of laughed and made some silly wisecrack.
But now I’m thankful of the gift I’ve been given and enjoy what I do,
And I am especially grateful for the wonderful friends I’ve made this last year or two.
And Poetry Soup is probably one of the best sites on the internet,
I can honestly say becoming part of this site I have no regrets.
It’s a fun site and all are welcome but please keep it clean,
And now someone is trying to destroy this place, that’s just downright dirty and mean.
There are plenty of sites out there that probably need destroying but give the Soup a break,
It’s just a place for us old foggies to get together and communicate for goodness sake.
Why don’t you take your computer skills and use them for good instead of bad,
Be a non hacker and try starting a new fad.
Most people when they get older truly regret the bad things in life they’ve done,
Destroying someone else’s property is wrong and I can’t imagine that being fun
