Captcha Poem


by M. J. Joachim


Captcha, captcha, captcha…
Wither, won’t you wander away
Bloggers sure don’t need you
Keeping visitors at bay

Security’s a blessing
Kept in the host of site
Add personal anti-virus
To keep everything sealed tight

Still these bloggers worry
Like a mother with sick child
Fretting over visitors
Wanting to make them smile

User friendly, you are not
A pain in the arse, tis true
Pointless, needless, hard to read
It’s time you got a clue!


Thank you for visiting Writing Tips.
Best of the weekend to all,

M. J.

  1. Ah, the joys of blogging and running into these things so much! Put my frustrations to good use, I'd say. Thanks for stopping by and giving me the thumbs up Al, Annalisa and DL! Your comments are very much appreciated! :)

  2. LOL. I never seem to be able to decipher them on the first time. Do they have to be so darn hard to read?

  4. @Kim - Whew! I thought it was just me...fears of Mr. Google banning me for too many attempts to read the captcha...
    @Mimi - What is everyone so gosh darned afraid of anyway? Like they don't have a delete button on their computer or something, right?

  5. hahaah this is the first time I have seen hatred for CAPTCHA vented via a poem! Brillaint. They really are the curse of blogging! I have to click refresh about 20 times before I get anything that doesnt look like an ink blot test. Very frustrating!

    I have recently started being a bit cheeky and using CAPTCHA bypass software called rumola, it automatically finds and fills in CAPTCHAs for you. bye bye horrible eye strain! I would recommend it because it seems to work perfectly so far! Try it skipinput.com. Hope I have brightened at least one CAPTCHAphobes day! x
