Milkshake until beef jerky (Limerick) by horus8

There once was a mad cow from Ontario. That would wobble and foam in stereo. She was an udder disaster. Since protein is faster. Then your butcher's alarm/clock radio.

Dear Readers:

This shall be my final comment on the website: www.poemranker.com.

When I first heard about this website on Yahoo (The day it was
highlighted as a really neat opportunity for those who wanted to have a
chance to share their poetic efforts with others) I was delighted.
Since that time, it has become increasingly clear, at least to me anyway,
that this is no place for one who might want to receive serious
feedback to be. The feedback that one receives doesn't seem to be
related, in any way, to the poetic merits of one's writing. So often,
it seems, their responses are nothing more than a sordid and demented
attempt to hurt others.

Except for a few rather looney attempts to wright something crazy,
most of what I have written represented an honest attempt to do my best
as a poet. And some of my poems were, I feel, perhaps rather decent.
But regardless of what I wrote (regardless of how good or poor it might
have been) there were those on this website who seemed to do their best
to degrade my, as well as others, efforts.

The website was, and still is, a really good idea. But unless those,
who have done their dead-level best to destroy the potential value of
this website, choose to go somwhere else, it is my opinion that this
website will have little, if any value, for those of us who would like
to share our poetic efforts with other mature individuals who seem to
care.

I shall continue to write poetry, however good or poor it just might be,
but it will no longer appear on this website.

Thank you for taking the time to hear me out, and the very best to those
of you who have an honest desire to write, as well as to share, your
well-intented comments with others.

Your Friend,

P.S. And for those of you who choose to respond to my comments in an
unkind, and perhaps even immature and thoughtless manner, have at it-----
-but please do remember this one last thing: "Do unto others as you
would like for them to do unto you."
