    thank you for the gold glad you enjoyed my one liner, and though some think it is disrespectful of me to remove poems from contests once they have closed and i have won something, i will remove my piece, as i have my own reasons for doing what i do. i make this comment just in case i am slated for my personal choice. no one ever says anything to me for removing poems from contests if i have lost. i feel i am being attacked for every road i walk along so now make it clear lest i am attacked this will be the last comment i make in this site that resembles anything close to intelligence.
