For this week's Poetry Friday, well-known author Douglas Florian had a poem on his blog about captchas, ('captchas' are those weird number/letter combinations you have to decipher and type to prove you are human - read more here) to which I had to comment:
CaptchasI tried to prove that I was notA bot, a script, a toolBut I failed so persistentlyI felt just like a foolIs that an 'A'? Or 'T'? Or 'C'Or 'X' crossed with an 'N'?This squint-inducing task I'm sureIs not for mortal menI refresh, retry, try againUntil my brain unspoolsWhoever thought these 'captchas' upI fear is somewhat cruel ...Copyright (c) 2012 Vikram Madan, All Rights Reserved
Supa Dupa, but I can't capture the captcha
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Doug :)
DeleteDelightful. thanks for expanding my vocabulary. Didn't know those awful things were called captcha. I HATE the new ones with a picture and a word.
ReplyDeleteI think we all hate 'em equally :). It also seems to me the pictures get more and more cryptic to the point of becoming undecipherable by us humans ... (or maybe it's just my waining eyesight :) )
