Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂
As I wander randomly around the ’net
I’m often beseeched to settle and let
My every need and interest be met
By an algorithm programmed to get
My views and wants corroborated; forget
This is a business model to beget
Increased traffic and has nothing to sweat
Or shake my current view. This I regret;
I need the freedom from a fixed mindset
To explore, discover facts that upset
My beliefs and values……. Am I a threat?
Possibly I’m just a marionette………

Nice write
Thanks for that. Appreciated.
intresting wrte doggrel dave.
i like it
Ty Zelda; Glad you found something interesting there,
with no strings attached I see .. & I looked real hard ..
You can never be absolutely sure...
Not a marionette, just a person who can think for himself and go forward into a better life.
Andy
Inspirational to the hilt, Andy.
Dave a read that though tongue in cheek I feel is too true to be funny. How many times have I been led down some algorithmic trail that ends up in a barren desert of trash that I have to go back to start to get out of. A fun read my friend.
Cheers Soren. Started off as a full on rant about providers roping in people and narrowing rather than expanding their viewpoinrt....by the end I think the rhyme had a little too much control. Fun, but I won't be doing it again.
You have struck a chord with this one. Pain in the backside they are. I am constantly feeling big brother is watching my spending and activities. Most topical today. I feel I am being shadowed Dave.
Thanks Cassie. I don't think You are wrong.
Also, you have just put me back on track. Above I told Soren that I felt the end of the piece was controlled by the rhyme. Having reread it I am happier with the final lines..
Awesome poem and
Momnorhyme! 👍
You're not A threat,
and not a marionette,
I bet! 🤣
Best regards ✌️ Thad
Well I’m darned - what an education I get (occasionally) from my membership here. Who knew my rhyme had a name? I did not. Well it does – Wikipedia confirmed..
And look, now you’ve started: threat, marionette, bet. Got to be careful, could be a disease which sweeps across MPS…..
Amazing rhyme !! I truly enjoyed your poem !
Thank You Kindly.
You is. Cut your strings and you'll lie so limply in a heap. But perhaps iffen you have a chance to breathe fresh air it'll enliven your stupor. Charmed.
Gratified to receive a response - there's no such thing as bad publicity....but a wee bit discombobulated...... (please understand this is in no way a criticism) I have some small difficulty in decoding you. Ditto with your sonnets, which I do try...
But thanks once more for your input.

Try that for a bit of elucidation.
Thanks for the sonnet reference.
My past misdeeds include a couple of sonnets. Here’s one:

But grateful for your recommendation. I will, over time, study it. Always prepared to refine my knowledge.
Your second reference does not compute; Google cannot locate it.
So thanks yet again for your input – I’ll always be happy to hear from you, even if I don’t always understand what you are on about. 😊
I just popped in to say summat completely NS - or rather Fido has. He says 'Woof, how's ya day going?!' lol.
Do eccentric UK people have talking dogs?
No, just the completely nutty ones....
(please note: I gave up on therapeutic responses when I retired... hoorah, lol.)
You have to expect it of me, being Sir Orchi NS....
If you wish to hand the award back (many honorable people have, in the past done so) and empathically sort out the Prodigal Son's difficulties as a sign of good faith, you could quite possibly dance off into the sunset with a clear conscience, orchi.....
I still ain't found out what 'prodigal' means exactly. lol. He might be back by now!
In search of peace of mind and happiness people tend to get lost. Everything in life is temporary and we are passing through. Love, compassion and good deeds do grant us some sort of self-satisfaction and contentment.
I enjoyed reading your poem and I fully understand your point of view.
Passing through is definitely right - and I want to steer myself where at all possible with minimal interference from others - especially big tech companies.
Thanks for your visit.
