Short Story 168 – Some Things YOU Are NOT Doing

The video ends, a story unfolds,
Did it make you laugh? Did it make you bold?

CLICK THE THUMBS UP, a simple delight,
A “LIKE” for my efforts, shining so bright.

Below the screen, a box waits with glee,
Leave a COMMENT there, for all to see.

Funny or thoughtful, a question or two,
Your words are like magic, that make my dreams true.

The BELL up above, a quiet grey friend,
CLICK IT for updates, the journey won’t end.

New videos coming, with laughter and cheer,
The BELL will remember, to bring them so near.

Last but not least, a BUTTON so grand,
SUBSCRIBE” it whispers, a helping hand.

Join the adventure, a wonderful crew,
More videos like this, waiting for you!

With COMMENTS and LIKES, the channel takes flight,
Your SUPPORT means the world, making everything bright.

So next time you watch, and a smile takes hold,
Remember these BUTTONS, more precious than gold.

For they build a connection, a community strong,
Where your voice can be heard, where you truly belong!
