A no win situation

[Senna Jawa]

Yeah, when software malfunctions that's what it is. It messed up my poem too. But that's not what the poem is about. It can be for instance about the Internet flames. I feel that "flames" is an archaic Internet expression (was it an oxymoron? Internet and archaic? Well, certainly by the Internet standards). Since 1990-1991, when there were "flames", arguments on Internet became way too vicious to call them "flames". Flaming used to be an art, not mutual slaughter. Anyway, here is the poem:

A no win situation

Paintings and art hang around -- an oasis,
In every corner flowers in vases -- Why
does a guy shit on the fan? A good question.
You're advised to leave the room then.

But when it's your fan and room and all
You shout DIE!!! and grab the guy
By his neck and pants in a futile attempt
To clean the walls -- it makes no sense,
The public has you in their contempt,
The bastard wiggles, claims innocence,
And damn!
He keeps shitting on that fan.​

Well, it's not a "painting" per se, but I read your poem and was in a silly mood and well...

Senna: Welcome back. I enjoyed "A no win situation". I miss the fine art of flaming.

Angeline: Very diplomatic of you to give them numbers instead of names.

Sincerely,

I feel like monkey six this morning. I'm thinking about becoming a public nuisance or walking on the grass.

I feel like monkey 7, the one which is the six under.

To see my poem in a messy state is quite frustrating to me, thank you Literotica. Like Rybka, I pay attention to the look of my pieces. I also think that readers who see such a sloppy text don't feel like looking into another by the same author. Will Literotica fix that bug?

I have collected some trivia two days ago. On the other hand I am fond of tearing up used sheets of paper, it feels good and I do a thorough job. Except that I did it to my statistical data, those trivia items. They shared their fate with several other pages. On a whim I decided to recover my trivia from the waste basket or rather from my waste plastic bag. Somehow I have managed. The page was teared into 16 pieces only. Paper doesn't tear perfectly so it was still an untrivial task (not to mention the extraction of the right pieces from those which belonged to the other, similar sheets).

Yes, lazy me, I should write that perl program to extract trivia form the submission page. Writing such a program is an annoying task since the format of the Literotica submission page is awkward (check it's html source code to see what I mean). It's not a big deal, I would extract a record for each poem. Once this is done the rest would be pleasant. It would be easy to write further functions to recover any trivia from the data.

I love that poem, Senna. But I must admit that when I read it in its awkward state on the Lit posts, I had to smile. Am I the only one who saw something poetic in the fact that Lit messed up a poem titled "A no win situation" ?

        You're right, Cordelia!

      Whose fan did Literotica (mis?)use, its own or mine?

    Thank you for your kind words.
