If you do
not sign your name,
never mind
what you’ve praised -
the blog,
the poet or poem,
your comment
gets erased.
All those garbled
adverts for
the stuff
that you want clicked
will stay
hidden where they are
the rules
are firm and strict.
So don’t bother
commenting
if your
name you won’t sign.
Jane and Anne,
Joe and Justin,
Yusuf, Lakshman,
Benyamin,
Juhi,
Roohi, and Yasmin,
from human
to feline,
all are
welcome, read and write
whatever you
wish to,
please keep
the tone here polite
as civil
people do.
But Gus who
comes Anonymous
and the guy
who is sly
won’t get
their nefarious
scheming words
to fly.
The delete button’s
merciless
and the
spam folder’s huge -
that’s
where they all will languish
minus the
subterfuge.
Spammers
have been superbusy here lately. Some of them are quite hilarious actually. One cheeky comment asked if I'm having problems with spam this month? Nope, not me! Thought they deserved a poem for the hard work. :)

DeleteNailed them, in style! I haven't been around for quite a while due to connectivity problems and then trying to catch up. Reading this poem, I realise just how much I've been missing the daily blog conversations. Keep writing the good stuff.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the net problems. Hope they are sorted. Good thing about not being around - spam can't get you!
DeleteHi Nila - so agree ... I just delete them, or ignore them - can't waste my time of them ... clever poem though - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteWell, that's why the moderation is on - which is not my favourite thing to be honest. But what else can one do?
Deleteexcellent humorous poem, but so true. I'm lucky to not get much spam, but it's annoying out there in the world. Such a time waster.
ReplyDeleteYeah, a total pain really. But sometimes good for a laugh or two.
DeleteA clever and fun riposte to people(?) who smear their way across too many posts.
ReplyDeleteDon't know how many people there are in there - most of them bots no doubt. But a couple of them were quite funny so I assume those are actual humans.
DeleteI seem to remember an old email I received that was a spam ad for some method of blocking spam ads. I wondered if such a trick really worked for them.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there must be ways to be spam free but I'll never master them because of my technocluelessness.
DeleteEnjoyed your apt retort on a very contentious issue.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Glad you liked it.
DeleteThe spammers are getting more clever - many of mine no longer post anonymously. So you have to read their missives. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteYeah, quite a few of those here too. Not funny :(
