I have to ask.

 

 

“Your doing what?”  A friend yelled at me

“Your letting them read, and have it for free?”

 

 

I want them to read

and see what I see

their comments are wonderful

it has to be free

 

So I’m sharing with you a small problem I have

to cover expenses – a problem so sad

such a small problem

yet a problem indeed

blogging cost are accelerating

thus causing a need

 

Mailing service monthly bill

and Hosting services too

miscellaneous expenses

oh what shall I do.

 

 

“Ask for donations, their comments are fine

If they like what you’ve written, they’ll give you a dime.”

 

 

Now you might think this poem

was written for money for me

but it’s about the expenses

and keeping the site free

 

So now I must ask (humbly)

for a dollar or two

my PayPal account

will accept money from you.

With heavy heart I have asked

and now carry on

my account name at PayPal is: poetsailor@hotmail.com

 

Thank you for reading

and spending your time

Thank you for sharing

your comments are fine.

 

I’m sorry I’m asking

for money from you

but think for a moment

just what would you do?

Yup, it's me! The author of all you read here (except for the comments of course). Having been asked to write a short article for "About Yourself", I was forced to labor (for a moment-or-two), upon what eloquent words I might use to explain myself. ................................................................................................................ This simple thought process yielded an even simpler solution. You need but read the words I have published here. All the writings (except for the Comments), are copyrighted ©, the moment the "post" is digitized and made available to the world (WWW) by the servers at namecheap, the best Hosting service you'll ever need. http://www.namecheap.com?aff=15525 Please read: "Proprietary Rights". ............................................................................................................. Now, to continue with "About Me". I am sure you will find a few of my views embedded within my poems, and, if I would quit procrastinating, within the chapters of my future novels. .............................................................................................................. I would ask you all to subscribe to "RANDOM THOUGHTS"

    This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying. Great job, indeed.
