It is done and it is time to celebrate for all of the little people who helped me get to this honor. And all you get is a stinking poem.

After months of hard work and many articles hammered out, I have done it. I have accomplished the glory of the 50,000 views badge. I would like to thank all of my readers for their help in well reading my articles. Kind of hard to get views when no one is clicking on them, wouldn’t you think? Hopefully despite everything and I think by now, we’ve long since established that no matter how much anger I have towards Triond, I refuse to allow a foolish website get the better of me.  So we prepare for the long and winding road to 100,000 views badge.

 

Also Daylight Savings Time is today. For countries that apply, make sure you turn your clock back one hour if you haven’t all ready and brace yourself for your sleep to get screwed up for about the next few days. Anyway, enough rambling. Poetry time.  It’s a parody of a certain old song, no prize for whoever guesses.

 

50,000 Views.

 

Each and every morning I wake up and take flight.

I log onto a certain website.

It is a writing platform called Triond.

Sometimes it puts my patience through the grind.

It is full of gremlins and admins who may or may not have a clue.

What is this writer to do.

I see that my work is so behind.

Yet despite it all, with the support of the readers, not that much I seem to mind.

And I have achieved, the glory of it all.

Another shiny badge to put on my wall.

Well I received 50,000 views, and I’ll receive 50,000 more.

So I can get one badge more.

That 100,000 views badge will be mine to score.

Triond won’t shove me out the door.

I have fans, I can’t believe it at all.

But they will make it worth it, even if I do fall.

Yet, I am not done yet, I still have a few more tricks in my bag.

Even if Triond won’t fix their website, no matter how much people nag.

Google unleashed their Panda, destroying the farm.

Yet, with our hard work, we can undo the harm.

Well I received 50,000 views, and I’ll receive 50,000 more.

So I can get one badge more.

That 100,000 views badge will be mine to score.

Triond won’t shove me out the door.

Articles placed in the wrong place.

So many times for foolish reasons, makes me want to palm my face.

Yet despite it all, as the views racked up

I took a few more drinks from the inspiration cup.

To all of the people who read my work, I would like to thank.

I wouldn’t get one view without you, to be quite frank.

I suppose I could click on my own work to hide my shame.

But if I was the only one reading, that would be quite lame.

Well I received 50,000 views, and I’ll receive 50,000 more.

So I can get one badge more.

That 100,000 views badge will be mine to score.

Triond won’t shove me out the door.

So thanks for reading, I have to go in a few.

Time to prepare to go for 100,000 views.
