I=Another morning on triond where everything seems to be mired in total  confusion

views numbers go up and down like manic lifts and likes seem more of an optical illusion

One minute I had fifty likes, the next this had jumped only twelve, what was gong on here?

The views were the same, I had no idea what was right because nothing was clear

it seemed like the gremlins were having a field day, leading is down that damanable path

where blood pressures peak and our hearts become filled with bitter frustration and wrath

How hard can it be for the boffins who run things to keep the rogue software running true

instead of allowing it to perlex all the members with a much twisted and quite perverse view

We ask not a lot from those people on high in their clouds, making millions each year

Just treat us with more respect for our needs, and try hard not to cause us such fear

because figures get twisted up tthere in the ether and earnings may be made to suffer

give us instead some assurances that you have some kind of fail-safe programme buffer

That guarantees writers that will get paid fairly, their statistics always reading true

so that we know that without any doubt  among members reasons for feeling blue

there will not be those awful computer glitches that rob us of what should be ours

that the system is set up to make sure that we get fair treatment as triond devours

ever more of our efforts with rapacious greed, though getting a fair shake  seems like a dream

in this massive, uindifferent fellowship, all the writers part of a great literary team

I really want to be given the chance to have triond help me understand how it all works

but such ambition is pointless for contact with members the admin team shirks.

We all feel the same when the site plays up, and spend time wondering why we stick around

but the truth is we like it, despite those countless hitches, our writing homes we have found

but there will come a time, if things fail to improve, that we might the urge to move on

to some site where writing is better paid and much more often read and looked upon

as work that is worthy of praise and fair pay, of pieces clearly showing literary talent in play, 

of administrators who actually care, and viewing stats able always to make your day.  I wish.
