A confused laddie!

orchidee

Now - for a change

A short poem from me

Not using 500 words when about 5 will do!

 

Now, what to write about

Erm, perhaps, maybe, possibly, not sure, don't know....

I'm a confused laddie of what theme to choose

Shall I, shan't I - include this, or include that

Or maybe include both this and that

 

'Stop!' says Fido; 'Time's up'

'That's the limit of your word count

Though you've said hardly anything of worth

This rubbish must cease right here!

People can't afford

To keep wasting about 23 seconds reading this stuff

You've gone over the word limit

I can't even finish this sen........' [sentence]!

LOL

    Limits are meant to be broken Orchi. Keep writing until the ink runs out.... oh yea no pen, keep writing until the pixels on the screen run out.

                Orchi, Fido has finally done what no editor dared! The excess vocabulary has been impounded, Ol’ Tomás is knitting the confiscated sentences into scarves, and WCAT cannot confirm whether this poem ever had a theme. Magnificent! 🤣🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
