Okay - GOTD moderators removed this from General Discussion area (and rightfully so, my inadvertent faux pas on this one) - so here it is again.

In respectful/humorous tribute to the GOTD forum and its wonderful members (enjoy)!

ODE TO GUM-CHEWING:
__________________________

A gum-chewing student
and a cud-chewing cow;
Seem quite alike...
but they're different somehow;
The difference is clear...
I see it all now;
It's the intelligent look
on the face of the cow.

I wrote this a while back but never did post it...this seemed like the right time.
(Mods: don't judge and delete till you read to the end.)

I came here just so I could gripe about the giveaway
because the one that you just gave was here a prior day.
You’ve got your nerve, you no good rats, how could you be so cruel
Your own name, “GGOTD” breaks it’s own set rule.

“Game Giveaway of the Day” is a farce, a lie, a cheat.
I hate you guys and all you do…..I kick you with both feet!
You don’t give games on every day, you only do weekends
How dare you lie and cheat on us, “such loyal, loving friends”?

We deserve more, we’ve earned it all, we’ve worked and paid the price,
So you had better get off your butts or we won’t be so nice.
We’ll gripe and yell and throw a fit, and then complain some more,
And if you don’t buck up we’ll go and find another store

Where we will pay for all we get and then you guys will see
We don’t need you, cause you just give us stuff that’s all for free

.....oh ......wait ......was that for FREE? OOPS……SOWWWYY!!

Nice link, HappyPerson ~ but methinks MY post is MUCH better:

It's plain for all to see
That H.P. Loves his Craft!

You has supplied a just link
Makes the wise truly think
With flight without fears
One indeed is brought to tears

Thank you both very much, IdunnobutIwastold and Caulbox, for your poems. They're both wonderful. Keep 'em coming.

By the way, in the spirit of full disclosure (I forgot to mention this before) I did not compose the poem about the gum-chewing cow. This poem has been around for a very very ......very long time (but its author is unknown/anonymous).

I did, though, compose the 1st poem (tribute to the GOTD forum & rating system.)

With that said, I very much look forward to reading more beautiful, inspired poems.

Take care,
Happy Person

OOPS! I meant to say "cud-chewing cow" in my previous post. Sorry about that, apparently my fingers are typing much quicker than my brain is able to think :)

Cheers,
Happy Person
