And to think that I saw it on steemit.com: A Dr Seuss rewrite

in #writing8 years ago (edited)

When I wake up and want to blog
I always ask myself
"What stories to tell them
Should I dust off the shelf?"

So I look at my past posts
At what I thought was great!
And what I have realized
Is I have yet to create!

No more blogging mediocre tales
No more minnows, it’s time to hunt whales!!!

So I head off to work
To let creativity perk.

All through the day
in my Uber-mobile
I’m talking and waiting
For my post to reveal
Now as my day ends
It sure was a bomb
For I have nothing to say
On steemit.com

Nothing to post
Of course that can change
I can borrow a story
The words rearrange!

No that won’t do, I’m sure to get caught
By a content sniffing @cheetah bot
So what is my story! just stop and be calm
Oh what I can tell them on steemit.com!!

Maybe I could tell…
Of my fare name of Tom?
He was a nice guy
But the post sure would bomb
So a little change, make it better to hear
no Tom but Alexa wearing just a brassiere!!!
Now THAT is a story to which upvotes would glom
when I tell it to the fellas on steemit.com!

No. no, it is just not enough
I’ll just have to embellish a little more stuff
I’ll say Hoang was with her
Her friend from Vietnam
Now that should get attention
on steemit.com!

Now wait just a minute.
It needs something more.
I drive middle class wheels,
That no hot girl feels.
Another small change to lift up my voice
I will just say it was a Rolls-Royce!

Hmmm…. Hot girls and fancy cars

There’s a lot of posts that are the same
By a now since forgotten downvoted name
Even @wang would bring better game!

Don’t need to rush, but no time to be meek
Not Uber, we’re dating! That’s a hell of a tweak!

I’ll say we meet a week ago today
On a fabulous trip to Mandalay Bay!
This is the one! My story has spice
How they will want to upvote it twice!

This is coming together with amazing aplomb
I can’t wait to hit post on steemit.com!

Is it enough, still seems to need more
Or the dolphins of steemit could find it a bore
Break no glass ceilings and fall flat on the floor

So what is it I should do instead…
I’ll read through their posts and get in their head!

Total Anarchists! That’s me and my girl
The places we travel, oh what a whirl
Of course she’s a model, Hun, bat your eyelashes
Crypto? Of course! We gotz the mad hashes

I’m rereading this all and what have I done?
This level of fiction will find me undone!
A blogging assistant! I realize with a clap
(I can blame him for all the past crap)

Oh this will take off, I can’t possibly fail,
and really, it’s just a couple tweaks of my tale.

The platform will cheer
And throw me mad cash
All posting comments
I”ll trend in a dash!

Anxious to post with sweat on my palm
Oh they will LOVE me on steemit.com

The roar of the motor as we jumped from a plane,
Our honeymoon parachuting in the Ukraine.
I look at my post, hmmm is it done?
Add something more, well maybe just one

Swimming with sharks…
Restoring old parks…
Oh how this has been a lot of fun!
Just parked, I am almost done!

Throw open door and race to my Mac
Heartily patting myself on the back
“No time to stop” I yell at my mom
Cause I got what they need on steemit.com

My screen flickers on and I prepare my tale
This story for sure is bait for a whale!
Try as I might, I just don’t have the skill
For fiction like this, needs a magical quill

Feeling a pain for which I wish was a balm
I put up my lame post on steemit.com


This pic is just an example of a lame post, please don't think I am soliciting lol

Sort:  

thanks for teh post!

It's a long one, but it's good! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I tried to do the whole book rewrite.... nto just a dr seuss style rhyme lol

I liked it but..
I'm not a whale.. :/

lol. I am not looking for whales.... Just a funny (i hoped) post about the writing method most use..... parody of the steemit crowd (at times, and vastly improving)

Thanks. Good luck! I posted a little early and should have put time into graphics.... So, there's tip for ya lol
