I WANNA BE ON TOP!!!

I wanna be on top!
So what's a poet to do -
So their poem won't drop
Straight on down to page two.

Should I speak of love?
Should I warm up to all of you?
Would that keep me above,
Would that really impress you?

Should I antagonize?
Should I cut at you with my wit?
Would that draw more eyes -
And make poor ol' me a hit?

I don't think I'm asking too much,
Just a reply, maybe two.
Yeah, I would really like to know I touch -
Each and everyone one of you.

But I don't think it's hopeless,
No, I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll make a thousand aliases -
And crash forum number two.

My name immortalized to all,
Yes, there, you'll see my worth!
And for once my words won't fall -
Clean off the face of the Earth.

Lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation

On a bus in DC town

With 83 answering postings dear Michael, that must be the all time record for Passions in Poetry ever! Do you actually have a figure for most responses ever?
You achieved it anyway.

Serves him right for leaving us in charge, though... Anybody seen MissMilli lately? If anybody's gonna break anything - Let her do it...

Your falling again, so up,up,up you go, until someone puts a stop to this, the fun will continue. Get your jollies now cause this is a one in a million happening unless you have magical powers, and can hypnotize all of us into doing this all again. I for one would probably fall victim to playing once again.

You were almost to the bottom of the page so I've come to rescue you problem is I don't have a tall enough ladder so I'm gonna have to get some help somehow. Maybe if we all climb the ladder then someone gets on my shoulers and holds it, then someone else gets on his shoulders and holds it, we might be able to reach it into place. what? you mean all I have to do is hit submit reply and you'll go up. I learn something new everyday.

Haha - thanks, Bridgette.

I miss the good ol' days too.  We had tons of fun back then.

I really should check in more I know.

Who knows...
