Edit Poem
Editing Instructions
Please note in the NOTES textbox below that this poem has been edited, do
not put your name, please put as the following:
<!--EDITED by moderators
on (Date) for (reasons).-->
DO NOT remove the line break (
<br /> ) html coding at the end of each line break, these are
needed to form the correct lines.
THE CHEATIf you do not wish to
delete a poem, or a certain part of a poem, and instead would like to send the
url to Mick via PM for confirmation, enclose the entire poem (or part/s thereof)
between <!-- and -->
(ie. <!-- POEM TEXT HERE
-->). This will still save the text, but will make it invisible from
viewing (other than page source view). You could also add before the
<!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".
The Lady in the Dell
She was pretty so she simply let life happen to her.
Never short of offers from her choice of ardent suitors.
Content with living day to day, she made no future plan;
With just enough to make ends meet, and armloads full of fans.
The day came when she realized that she could not retire;
While she trained replacements that they planned to hire.
How fortunate that fast food chains employ the elderly;
She came cheap; and joined the sheep who showed up faithfully.
Too late to wish she had a skill; to late to marry well;
She greets us all at window two, each time she hears the bell.
Plan ahead, the lady said, because it takes endurance;
To serve those lines at 89 to pay for health insurance.
