Remembering our good friend L. Milton Hankins ( and POTD gremlins)

Thanks to all who commented on my recent short lived POTD on Sunday the 5th of November 'Jailbreak at Milton Creek' despite this Tania was getting messages congratulating her for hers although mine was still showing after a few hours mine vanished and replaced by Tania's poem 'Twelve Days Of Christmas With Ziggy' that was also well deserving of the POTD honour. I contacted admin as I was curious as to why mine had vanished and it turned out they were working on the algorithm that chooses POTD and it messed things up a bit, just one of those things I suppose. For those new to the site who are not aware, Milton Creek is a series of humorous poems about a fictional old western town (formally Soup Creek) The reason for the name change was to remember our good friend and supporter to many who passed away on the 22nd December in 2022. L. Milton Hankins. Milt was in the story from the start as 'The Gambler' who owned Aces Hotel in the town and loved being part of the story. We all agreed to rename the town Milton Creek in his honour so that he'd never be forgotten. Tom.
