EZ board

EZ board ?!!

"Post a poem on EZ board"
That's what Esmond said;
"Sure", I replied cheerfully
Thinking an EZ job lay ahead.

I went to the site, armed with a poem
Looking for "submit" buttons or a "mailto:" hand
Instead found myriad options, all leading me astray
But no clues to show me the elusive right-way

After roaming the net, from link to link
For hours through maze after maze, near tears
I found no words I was looking for
Similar to "Enter your poems here"

Finding all the links led to other worlds
Not somewhere I could post,
I came back to Esmond
To relate my tale of woes

And he said, "There is nothing to fear...

"Try these few easy steps ---
when you are at the 'Poet's please' page..
scroll down and click on 'Register An Account' ...
when that page opens click on 'CREATE a global' account
you will then be able to post at any ez board
with the same user name and password.
When you've registered .. and you get back to my
'Poet's please page' .. click on 'Login' ..
when you've logged in ... click on the back button
till you are back again at 'Poet's please' page ..
then click on 'Esmond's Poetry Forum' ...
Hey presto! That's all there is to it --
now click on 'NEW TOPIC' to post...

That's the EZ procedure "

I'm really surprised the EZ boards aren't bare!
There must be real brave poets out there
Willing to confront this Herculean Task
Who strive and struggle, toil and dare

I am not made of such rugged stock
Of this mammoth venture, I'm scared
But will try less complicated stuff, instead,
Like figuring out why " E=mc² "
