Usenet poet Will Dockery's "Tired of Waiting" took the #1 spot on Penny's Top 20 of July 2026.

That was enough to make "Tired of Waiting" the third Will Dockery poem to receive more than 1,000 page views.

Dockery's "Poem for Kathy" also was hot in July, getting 100 page views (which gives it about 600 views to date) and capturing the #8 spot.

#8;for Kathy's poem is pretty good, also.

Sure is; and don't forget that that poem also hit #1 this year,
in February. You're having another good year on PPB, well-deserved,
too, I might add.

And close to 1,300 comments here on the JLA Forums for Kathy's poem.

Very few of those posts are actually about the poem.

That's often true on Usenet, it comes with the territory.

Very few of those posts are actually about the poem. You spotted what you imagined was a misplaced comma, latched onto it like you'd finally discovered the Holy Grail of grammar

I simply pointed out your error, you're the one who went into a tizzy over it, Miguel.

Glad to clear up your confusion, Miguel.

And on the Reverbnation local charts, Will's got the number one spot

Thanks again for the nod, Harry.

Not at all.

Here in America, we were taught how to use quotation marks and commas early.

I learned back at Edgewood Elementary School here in Columbus Georgia, in fact.
