Deleted Poem

Rating: 5.0


The system did not like to see
my fingers hit the wipe-out key.
Delete, it seems is left to those
who have a super-touchy nose.
Use words like...well, you know which ones
and management brings out the guns.
Thus, we shall keep this site so proper
that it would suit the highest copper.

I tried to thank you for your rare comment, so I went to the forum to do it as the carrier pigeons have fleed the stoop and all messages have been deleted..I thought this one of your poems was somehow proper.
