At lunchtime today my inbox to me it said
That I now had zero emails unread
I would now have to think up a new thread
And get writing again, before I can go off to bed
Today finally my inbox I cleared
It felt good, I gave out and cheered
The ever growing unread list I had feared
I am so happy now they have all disappeared
As I begin again, at my desk I am sat
It had felt like a daily form of combat
To reduce the list a plan I would format
Would it work what odds for that?
A fresh day, a new beginning I need a task
Of what should I write to no one I ask?
All prepared with coffee, a full flask
I must get finished for I have the sun in which to bask

I had often felt that I had a book inside me ready to be written (many of us have I know), well it has been but now I need to get it published. Until recently I never knew I could write poems, that is my nex... View profile

Post a CommentThis is me, trying to clear, not only my inbox, but my unread AC faves stuff...and not doing a very good job of it. I gotta go do something else now. Chow. Deedow.
Yea! I know the feeling, to a lesser extent, I'm sure. When I've missed checking emails for a few days, there are sometimes 385 unread in my Inbox, & it scares me! Thankfully, many are notices of other AC writers publishing, & I can put it off. But I'm obsessive enough that I feel compelled to check all messages (not spam), so sometimes it takes days & new ones keep coming in! So I appreciate your tenacity & commitment, John! I was actually afraid this article would be abt the day you just deleted all our messages. (Selfish on my part to feel that way, 'cuz I sure can understand how it might reach that point!) Anyway, I felt relieved for you as I read this and hope you had a good "bask"! ; )
Nice work!!
:D I have three email accounts I have to keep track of, mostly junk, but its tedious! Keep up the great work in Belize!
This reminds me of the movie where Jim Carey had like 50,000 unread emails! Good luck at your new home... :-)
