I really want to know whether you exist or not! <br />Your site has several “Contact Us” links, and <br />Emails to you produce an “Auto-Thank You” <br />But our messages then get lost in cyberspace <br />Or yield “Failed Delivery” notices by the slew. <br /> <br />In “Chariot of the Gods” Erich von Danekin <br />Postulated aliens who briefly visited Earth, <br />Prompting pyramids from Mexico to Timbuktu, <br />But then abandoned us to our own devices. <br />Can Poemhunter.com be on autopilot too? <br /> <br />In “The Great Gatsby, ” Scott Fitzgerald wrote <br />Symbolically about the eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckelburg <br />Brooding on a sign over a vast Valley of Ashes <br />Long after he himself had departed in disgust <br />With his befouled creation. Are you mad at us? <br /> <br />Janice Joplin sang hopefully that she would wait <br />At home each day just at three for the folks from <br />Dialing for Dollars. So, too, with this humble poem <br />I await your return to your loyal PoemHunter fans. <br />We need your help, guys, so please don't roam! <br /> <br />To anyone else who happens to read this plea, <br />Be aware that someone called “Sandrine Nzi” <br />Has begun to send us bogus business scams <br />She must assume that we're a bunch of jerks; <br />But what the heck, the site is free and works! <br /> <br /> <br />Footnote: <br />Since joining three months ago, I've never been able to reach <br />whoever manages the site using 'Contact Us.' If any of you <br />have e-chatted with Poemhunter staff, or received a response <br />to a query in recent months, please let me know your secret! <br />The final stanza, by the way, is also true, and you can confirm <br />Sandrine Nzi's scams on the Internet (if you want to bother) .<br /><br />Chuck Toll<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ph-hello-poemhunter-staff-anyone-home/
