I see A 🩶...yeah

So...

Doffed your hat...did you?

It says...it means

One person liked your story.

They left a 🩶

thanks...i think.

What should i do with a like

I cannot click on it and reply---

Another person also doffed their hat

but they left a comment

and a 🩶

Oh, so very wonderful of you. Many 🩶🩶🩶's

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I shall click and reply

But, who am i to complain

I don't read half as many stories

as i should...leaving 🩶🩶's broken

Still...

I feel quite half a person

when i read and 🩶 without a comment

As if i only loved with a half of my 🩶

and the other half feels like it cheated someone

of their 🩶🩶's happy beat

For

when they see and read a lovely comment

🩶🩶's rejoice....

I would rather read three stories,

leaving a 🩶and a comment

Than ten stories with just a 🩶

They don't pay people to read anymore

so reads are way down

making sad 🩶🩶🩶's woeful

Which leaves me with the need

for an answer to the question...

Where do Vocal 🩶🩶's go

when they miss their partner 'comment'

how do they feel

do they not get lonely

When their other half...comments

Fail to come home.
