This one is for you, Anonymous




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. :)
