I find myself today bereft of time The words refuse to respond to my call Much as I would prefer to make this rhyme I fear I've set myself up for a fall The trick'ry I've employed to hide this verse Has not fooled you (because you're reading this) Kudos, my friend; though you may swear and curse My composition will not disburse bliss And so, I think that I should now foreswear Continuation of this futile thing I'll leave you now and offer up a prayer Today's remainder better things will bring

I’d have to ask you to be more specific to be able to offer a sensible response.

For a quick minute I was afraid I was back in the legal field where that phraseology is far too common (and annoying). 😊 The legal industry is well known for destroying trees.

Blast. You responded too quickly, and now I’m unable to curate my previous comment appropriately. I agree: the legal profession excels at killing trees. And personally, I for one can’t abide THEIR LOVE OF ALL CAPITALS WHICH I’M SURE THEY EMPLOY BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT IMPARTS MORE IMPORTANCE TO THE WORDS BUT THE REALITY IS THAT THEY’RE STUCK IN SOME KIND OF ARCHAIC ARCHIPELAGO AND CAN’T CHANGE…

[Comment respectfully redacted, saving you the time.] You intentionally or not, dropped a think piece on me. I was, fresh from reviewing a work [an inappropriate word for it, but I am rushed this morning] by an eecummings wannabe and launched into an distasteful sarcastic comment. Forgive me, for I almost sinned. Hail Mary, full of grace…

Hi PeNdantry. For some reason, the colour scheme for your replies is white on very pale blue, and I’m struggling to read what you have said. Has anyone else noticed this? I wondered if you were aware?

Ah. Without launching into a far-too-long diatribe, I have only one explanation for this: the world wide web is not WYSIWYG; it’s WYSINWOG.

Hmm… How?
My usual process – I see a post in my Reader, I open it on the author’s website, and view it that way. However, today, for some strange reason, I opened it in my Reader and was confused as to why it wasn’t blank. (Hehehe) THEN, I opened it here… and it was.
Explain yourself.

Dratted Reader! Such a killjoy :)
(Apologies for the ‘re-comment’; I’ve just discovered that attempting to edit a comment to enclose text in a <span> element doesn’t work. Technology: go figure; it’s as inscrutable as a chameleon attempting to be a butterfly.)

So I see the beginning of your reply in my Reader/notifications but then I click on it and there’s nothing. Your smiley face betrayed you this time. Chameleons are overrated.

Try highlighting my responses here on my ‘blank page’. As with so many things, it’s about perception. You’re right about one thing, though: although my words are not ‘nothing’, they are all too often free of meaningful content. And chameleons are clever :P

Got you. To be honest, I’ll be very happy when I can stop typing “>span style=”color:white;”></span>” to encapsulate every comment. I have more important fish to fry. Roll on Tuesday! :D

I’ll quite happily stick my hand up and admit that I’m not familiar with that particular character sequence. DuckDuckGo suggests that it relates to a game (possible?) or an energy supplier (unlikely, I would think). Would you care to elucidate?

A sad story indeed!
Sadly this story is going to be a real one.
But then humans enjoy by crying while going through these sad stories based on emotions.
They fail to realise that they have no more tears 😭 left to spill from their eyes because they are already dead.
Lessons learnt – nil
Moral of the story- no lessons to learn😂😂
