There once was a poet named Marge,
Whose poetry folder was oh, so large
She'd delete some "so-so's" daily
sending them flying to that e-trash can,
smiling, thinking they were gone.
But a hacker poet hiding under the midnitesun
would sneak in on an unsecured line
and empty that can into her own storage device
to post surreptiously next day (a nasty vice)
under her own alter-ego, her own pen name.
And now some think that she too, knows how to write.
Marge ruffles her feathers, prepares for a flight,
flies northward at daybreak for a short fight.
She teaches that fledgling it's not nice to steal
and that fledgling submits with barely a squeal.
So if you're posting something you think
that you created first,
better look at Marge's folder,
where the seams did burst.
It just may be from her overflow,
ya know.

You know actually it's Marge's Menagerie that does most her writing.  Just ask the parrot.

The Trashwoman Cometh
by stealth of night
Sneaking poetic folders of delight
Pen of poet has been pilfered before
Got to shut that 'unsecured' door !

Calling in the FBI
They give me the standard reply

"We're hot on the trail
of the midnightsun.
Rumor has it, she's the one,
foraging through your trash at will,
recycling your thoughts
with her own quill"

At the Internet Post Office they have hung
a wanted poster for midnitesun~


*Kacy~
Just delightfully precious.
One heck of a compliment~
Thank you so very much.
You're right ... I did need the smile~
*Hugs*
~*Marge*~

Oh you both made me smile today, and I too needed one, so thanks for lending me yours! Very, very cute poem Kacy for a wonderful poet who does have more poems than Hallmark I am sure!

Try giving your smile to someone who does not have one, and I bet you'll find another ~*~ Mysteria ~*~

Marge, your reply is bringing me gales of laughter and delight.  

I don't think I need to hide though, rumor has it the FBI's had their bums frozen off enough lately, cuz they haven't yet learned about those CYA rules.

Midnitesun,
You're not at much risk between the FBI and Marge without a picture for her poster! No harm in confessing if they can't find ya'! Na.na.na.na.na na

Midnitesun,
Collusion? Well, maybe.  But not with the FBI. Cindi, on the other, is a candidate!

Midnitesun-
   LOL!  This is too cute!
   Yep...it doesn't matter what you write,
   Marge has probably already written it
   at one time or another...LOL!
  
   Now...let's negotiate here.
   I'll cover for you with the FBI if you'll
   forward Marge's 'trash' to me when you're
   done with it.  Deal?
   Hugs,
   ~Vicky

Midnitesun,

Great last chuckle before heading off to dreamland. I'm sure I'll probably dream of Marge's overflowing recycle bin.
