Compositionally Befuddled
I’m not the beneficiary of your gift for words.
My acumen for spinning tales is simply for the birds.
When I type, the words roll out but they’re not all right.
Then the need to sort them out ends up as my plight.
I need a thesaurus for the simplest of statements.
I ask for enlargements when I really seek abatements.
I chafe under the rub of words, waiting for a rebuke.
Although I want a kumquat, I wind up with a cuke.
I could use some help most days when choosing words to keep.
Sometimes I have nightmares rifling through words in my sleep.
So when I err, be kind my friends, for I fear it’s true
that I have scant facility for what I choose to do!!!
Prompt words today are keep, type, rebuke, chafe, beneficiary and thesaurus.

A cat-O-nine tails
works better than a stick.
brings on louder wails,
so do use it quick.
Poor little friend of mine,
you I can’t go very far
having such a terrible time
covered with feathers and tar.
But there are some out here
who jumps to attention
seeing a post, or hear
your name mentioned.

What is CRLF, Sam?

Carriage Return – Line Feed, often used in programing either together or separate, that is what moves you to the next line, like you used to do on a typewriter with your right hand pulling the carriage back~! But that was a long time ago~! CR will just move you to the next line but LF will put a space between lines. If left out all lines will be continuous to the format of the programmer.

Sam it was okay in comments…all rhymes were at ends of sentences.

I figured that too, thanks. But on the bounce back it is all one long line with no stop or normal line feed. I was not finding fault just making a dumb statement as I sometimes do~! If anyone is to blame for this, it would be the strange happenings over at WordPress.
Beautiful day in the Texas Hill country~!

Mine sometimes does that when I check it out in Notifications. When I click on it, it snaps into line. Don’t know why it sometimes does it but usually doesn’t. Mysteries of life.
