    I ran this promo by my "trusted source," and he made a few tweaks. So
    this is what's going onto the web today:

    Again, looking good.

    Thanks. I agree, it does. It's one more promo that I can send out each
    month to keep the PPB name in circulation, and in addition it gives
    readers the idea that there's more to do there than read just one poem.
    It gives them a new way to read the blog which is, in fact, the way I
    prefer to read it.

    It was a great idea and, all in all, I'm glad I thought of it.

    Thanks. I agree, it does. It's more spam that I can send out each
    month to keep the PPB name in circulation down the drain, and in
    addition
    it gives readers the wrong idea that there's more to do there than
    read just
    one poem. It gives them a purloined way to read the blog which is, in
    fact,
    the way I would prefer to read it, if I could read for truth and
    meaning.

    It was a great idea and, all in all, I wish I had thought of it.

    Corrected for accuracy.

    Since you channeled the Douchebag, I'm going to channel The Ghost of
    Benders Past!

    Relay through me the words of the great Martijn Benders to let Dreckster experience the truth about Benders for one in his amazingly stupid life!

    I have melded with the psych of Benders...

    "You write spam, Dockery. Spam. You write 200 posts a day without a
    single interesting thought in them. You think you have the right to
    flood countless groups with this Spam because...well,eh,...because.....
    because you like to call yourself a poet."

    Wow! Anything else to tell the audience?

    "Dockery, everyone knows that you haven't published a single poem in
    your life except on your own website. Everyone knows no one will
    remember you for your 'poems'. The only thing people will remember
    you by is the irritating spamming behavior you expose online which gives Americans an even worse name than they already have. All spammers I
    have seen so far were all without a single exception Americans. Why
    do you think that is? I'll tell you why: because they get the idea
    spoonfed in their education that it's their godgiven right to pollute
    the world with their 'opinions' - bolstered under the flag of
    'freedom of speech' without any sort of comprehension or reflection what 'freedom' or what 'speech' would be."


    Perhaps you have some kind words for Mr. Douchebag, perhaps some advice?

    "Continuously flashing your small weener in public will not make it
    grow, Dockery. You're just hungry for attention and there's only one
    reason why: you're an empty windbag whose only talent in life
    consists of irritating other people. A masochist who just keeps coming
    back because he's addicted to getting hit. Your a sad old fuck, and I
    hope someone will shoot you soon. The world will be a better place if
    that happens."


    Thast's probably the best advice Dreckweasel has ever gotten. I hope he
    takes it.

    that you have already lost the argument." - Little Willie Douchebag gets another asskicking from Pendragon.

    This poem by Eva Saulitis might be a nice addition to the blog;

    A Room Stacked with Newspaper

    You tell me your memory is a room stacked with newspaper.
    Sometimes you enter, swipe dust off the stacks, turn the brown pages.
    Some you never looked at. You left us those and they are silent.
    [...]

    Eva Saulitis, 2023

    Yes, it would be. But of course it's copyrighted, so I can't just post
    it. I'll see if I can reach out to her; that's step 1.

    HTH and HAND.
