So, yesterday I was feeling pretty down and ready to quit Steemit because a really great post of mine had gotten flagged for no good reason at all. And then I just found out that:
I won the first Limerick contest!
Now I'm feeling like these people:
That's pretty awesome. Okay, fine, maybe I'll stick around a bit…
Thank you @ebryans, @writing-trail, and @gardenlady for your various roles in the contest. I look forward to seeing what other good limericks come out of future contests. (Or bad limericks...but really, bad limericks are the best…). Also, congrats to @whatageek and @aubreyfox for their entries, and everyone else who composed a rhyme or two for the contest.
On the occasion of my win, I've composed another piece:

Thank you all! I look forward to the next contest.
To read this post makes a whole lot of effort worthwhile. Thank you.
We have all been treated to downvotes and general poor decision making as the powers that be try to finesse towards a better system.
Rise above the dross and laugh at ourselves and the flaws we share.
Namaste.
