Homework for April 2025 - FRUSTRATION

Post by Maureen K Clifford » Thu Apr 03, 2025 11:42 am

FRUSTRATION .. Maureen Clifford © The #ScribblyBarkPoet


As fast as I deleted, blocked and banned another scammer,
another one would pop up – wish I had a bigger hammer
to clobber them with; brain dead fools how I hate their malarky.
My bitch face gives the game away – this girl is getting narky.

Most days there would be three or four all trying to outwit me,
they’d go to posts, some two years old, and tag on there to shite me.
But like a tracker dog I’d seek them out, follow their spore,
then ban and block, erase their posts – Begone forevermore.

Spammers are not your friend no matter how they claim to be,
and sad to say most claim to be from the military
in the USA - God help us – could this be another ploy
to infiltrate Australia? We’re no ones ‘whipping boy’.

Strong passwords? Yes, we have them and two step ID too.
We’re vigilant and wary – do what we have to do.
But have perhaps the tables turned? There is no way to see
if all the spammers I have blocked are now all blocking me?

This block is so frustrating I am crying in despair.
For everything I’ve tried has taken me to just nowhere.
Patience is not my forte and it is a bitter blow
to have to sit and wait it out ‘cause my ‘puta’ says ‘NO’.

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Just in case any of you might have noticed, or wondered why there are no posts being added recently, - I have been locked out of the ARP Facebook page :o , and FB altogether for 'going to fast', :roll: again.

With no success to date, Manfred and Moi have been trying to get me reinstated. So sad to say any messages being sent that are not replied to are not being ignored, they are just not being seen at the moment by me. Hopefully at the end of the banned period, which could be anything up to 30 days - I will do a MacArthur
