Oh, Please Upvote The Stuff I Wrote! Poem by Denis Martindale

Oh, please upvote the stuff I wrote! Is that too hard a task?
You've read it all and you took note. Is that too much to ask?
Just click and let me know you care! Encourage me again!
That upward arrow! There, right there! Just click it now and then!
I wasn't paid! No cash, no dough, no cheque or I.O.U.!
No wonder that I'm feeling low! No wonder I feel blue!
Just think, I gave you all I've got! I didn't make a fuss!
A little kindness means a lot! It really, really does!
Just move the mouse across the screen so I won't feel bereft!
Just move the mouse and don't be mean! Just move it to the left!
Then press that clicker promptly down! Yes, click without delay!
Then I can smile, no cause to frown! You'll really make my day!
Oh, please upvote the stuff I post! Just take a little time!
At least the stuff you liked the most, as that would be sublime…
