hi Joe, want you to know…
just discovered your amazing publication,
why it took so long? No explanation…

Would love to be accepted as a writer
and have my future so much brighter!
I try to be funny, and not overly puny,
and I’ll try to make my meter tighter.

This verbosity is ample, but still, here’s a sample…

Whatever you do, don’t pick my poem…

thanks so much,
Marilyn
