I set my sights on 'Most Supportive'
But to make it I really must have
Reliable access to both read
And have time to compose my screed
Before the thing is Under Maintenance.
Since it's down I have the time
To write indignation out in rhyme
Shan't be brusque or e'en untoward
But, Damn; I'd go for Leaderboard
Except the thing is Under Maintenance.
Not trying to complain
Surely there's things to maintain
This time hope the fix has stuck
So that refreshing brings me.... F**K!
AGAIN! The thing is Under Maintenance!
You see : the world just falls apart
Writing helps to heal my heart
Reliably what calms me the most
Is the ability to here on Vocal post
Except: the thing is Under Maintenance.
Uncertainty is something I expect from cable
From busses, airplanes, and those that wait the table
From those I can always restrict money,
But Vocal? Oh no- I've paid you, honey
But NOT to have the thing Under Maintenance.

True story: I copied and pasted this into an email to myself before Saving... and the Red Banner of Doom reinforced my decision.
