So it’s a wee bit of a leap over to the 🦋 place, where I’ve got 70 followers rather than 33,000, but some of the nicest people are already there and I hope more friends give it a try. See you there for the Sunday caption contest, my name there is also @GirlsOwn

Pity the editter of the Girls Own Poetry section, for how she must moan! Weep for her, reader Bad rhymes and worse meter, Bags of bad poetry She reads daily stoically. Again and again (At pay half of a man) We all owe a debt to her, The poor Girls Own Editter.

Beauty school dropout! Go back to High School!
You admit to meeting your "sweetheart" on the sly and, moreover, write and spell badly. Leave off deceit and return to school.

Sounds a bit crowded. I think she is setting a good example by leaving.
