Poem 171: I Wish

I like to say thank you to all the folks who read my blog last week

This entry would in turn reach the highest peak

So many people enjoyed it and their comments were encouraging to me

I have to admit I was as proud as I could be

I’ve never seen so many liking what I wrote

I could go on forever, but I’m not one who likes to gloat

With so many responding, some businesses want to advertise on my site

Now it looks as if I will be earning some money for the things that I write

There are so many sponsors now trying to get the upper hand

It looks like “yours truly” is finally in demand

The contracts that I’m looking over are as baffling as can be

Can anyone out there recommend a lawyer for me?

So many people were interested on what I had to say

Such a turmoil about the topic, I won’t bring it up today

I am hoping to address each and every concern of those who wrote me back

Trying not to take their words as a personal attack

The stuff that I penned really means a lot to me

It is up to each person to agree or disagree

There were many in my corner who thought I explained it well

Others were totally against it and told me to go to hell

Yet there were more readers than I ever had before

Maybe I should tackle these issues even more

The accusations and the insults I won’t take to heart

I knew this theme would be problematic from the start

I was happy just to get it off my chest and so many of you agreed

This is the only way we will be able to succeed

Far more were on my side and thought I phrased it right

Then you have a few others who are just looking for a fight

I apologize now to those who felt slighted from  what I had to say

It’s unfortunate that you can’t see things my way

That is why we have to discuss these topics and get them off our chest

Thousands of you read it, which certainly makes it my best

So my few followers must be wondering what last week’s debate was all about?

Especially when they come to the realization, that I didn’t put one out

So thanks to all my readers who do read my poems when they appear

I don’t get to accumulate a thousand readers in the whole year
