Instructions For A Feeling

By Susan PaytonPublished 9 months ago • Updated 9 months ago • 1 min read

there is no feeling like it on the earth

there is no describing what it is worth

you will treasure the date of it's birth

of your Top Story

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

whether it is your first

you never loose your thirst

for the pride you want to burst

for the star in all its glory

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

its something we all crave

the path that writers pave

we are all perhaps a slave

to the next top story

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

your excitement pours out of it seams

however, what does it all mean

have you lost your steam

to write a top story

t^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

kudos to the vocal team

they read endless stories it seems

seeing which ones are pristine

to be a Top Story

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

the feeling can't be described

it's the same far and wide

its like your favorite type of pie

to get a top story

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I still get a giddy feeling when I get a TOP STORY
