Before you delete me, read what I write
A contest for idiots just isn't right.
By asking for -laugh the night away- on MY page.
You make me want to rant and rage.
A request like that is an insult to me.
Leave it out is my fervent plea.
And if you think I've not read each rule.
Have another think because I'm no fool.
Author notes
Some of the contest rules make we want to *LAUGH*. Are *THE* organisers serious. It is a *NIGHT*mare having to use all these silly words. We should do *AWAY* with adding comments.

I'm glad you agree. Let's spread the message.

Actually, it's not funny at all, but sadly true. All those people who DEMAND that you put such and such in the comments box are a pain in the neck. I really resent it and dislike it exceedlingly.
Good job. -
Hahahaha...I see your point but I just ask of it to see if you have read the rules but with you I should have known better.
It was a fun read,keep it up. -
Thanks for reading and writing. Glad you liked it.
Jim S -
hehe, 'tis a lovely write. I used to make poems like that all the time! Oh, the old days... Well, it was very cute. Good luck in the contest!

Insult to who Malabu? We've never communicated. If you read the comments above yours you will see that Babylah is more than happy with what was written.
Thanks for reading and writing BTW.
Jim S -
Umm as I read this I felt words of possible insult I hope it was not the way I read it. I happen to think this was a lovely idea and out of the norm. Im a serious guy. but also a very funny guy. A little humor from all the serious writing we do would only help lift our spirits.

AWWWWW Jim, the 8 letters are haunting you now. never mind, just call me Jenni, that's only 5 letters and angelica is Joan...so that's only 4..problem solved
Jenni
-
Oh Jennifer now you're being cruel.
Angelica - 8 letters. I'm going to be pondering those two for a while now.
Jim S -
Sorry, was on my friends Author page....yeah, you're right my name does have eight letters.
Jennifer
-
oh no you didn't. it wasn't till reading it again i got it! and i see what your saying. i didn't think about my name having 8 letters. dont worry i got it in the end! and i found it funny
-
Thanks for the comment Jennifer..... Hey that's got eight letters too. I wonder...
Jim S -
It was just a gentle dig at some of the really silly stuff that a lot of competition hosts want in the author comments.
You said you were fed up with long poems and wanted a giggle. I noticed your name had 8 letters...
If I offended you I apologise, sincerely.
If you really don't like it -- it's your competition so you can remove it.
BTW did you read the author's comment as well. That took longer than the poem.
TTFN
Jim S -

Jennifer
