This has to stop

orchidee

Woof! Fido says to me

Writing so-called 'poems' of trivia

Utter nonsense

Just rambling on - 

Saying 50 words now when 5 will do

What happened to using 20 words when 5 will do?

Though there's no change there for you, then!

 

And will you stop contributing

Under false pretences

Writing neither poem nor haiku

Nor senryu nor wotsits, or whatever!

 

I'll make no bones about it, he says to me - 

No use you pretending to be a professional poet

And making out ya know

What iambic pentameters are

And all that stuff!

 

I, of course, Fido humbly says

Know 99% of everything

Though I don't brag about it!

Heehee.

        If Fido is not making any more bones, what about all the other hounds in the area? You've gotta get this one sorted, orchi. You supply the bones for Fido, not force him to make his own. That's the way it's done in the normal world.
