RE: Poem


Dale, did you send it by e-mail? Maybe try it as html instead of plain text
& use a Courier-type font and put html tag <pre> before it and </pre> after
it to keep its original formatting ( <pre> = pre-formatted.) You may have to
save it as an html file so it should look like this:

<html>

<pre>

Your poem's text in a fixed width font like courier here

</pre>

</html>

This is all to no avail if list doesn't accept html anymore; don't remember
if it does but Vince usually did his posts in html.

The list server changed the format on this one!  It was supposed to look
like a pumpkin!

My first entry into the contest:

 

This is 

my pum

pkin big

 orange and

 queer, I've

worked really

hard will it be the biggest of the year?

I planted it with passion and gave it my all, a long

summer of fun all leading to the fall.  The kids they all

 love it where's Cinderella they ask, In October I'll carve it 

maybe give it a mask. How long did it take how much milk did

 it drink, I chuckle at the questions some of them are brainless I begin

to think.  How much can it weigh will it break a half ton, it had plenty

of water and light from the sun.  The genetics are great its seed will

produce, I've even had requests to trade for a moose.  The walls

they be thick the stem is outrageous, what's wrong with

 that one might it be contagious.  Rot has set in the

 time was well spent, back to reality 

memories to lament.

 

 

God Bless,
