I read your author's notes and can see that you had fun writing this. The poem does seem more in the interest of children. I can see kids have fun reciting this. Nice attempt with a Dr. Seuss model.

You are so very sweet and I thank you for your kind words and lovely comment about kids, as it is something fun that I did with all of my grandchildren, rhyming about everything we said and then got the giggles.
Kids are so precious to me, so maybe I will try this again, next time they have a contest asking for kids poems. And thank you again my friend, for the wonderful review.
Comment from Ulla
I love it, it's actually very funny and put a smile on my face. But it also shows that life for the old couple is not as easy as it used to be. Oh dear. Good luck with this fun and well written poem. Ulla:)))

Ulla, you are so very sweet, and I appreciate your kind review and encouragement. It was a lot of fun to write, and since Dr Seuss is my favorite author of all time, I just had to try one of his style. Thank you again!
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Like your poem. I liked Dr. Seuss, too. Your poem is seriously hilarious. The old lady tries to hold her sneezes. Evidently, she did not have a Kleenex, so she could blow her nostril. But she didn't drop her Reese's!

Rosemary, if you got any sweeter, you might be a Reeses. Lol
I know the poem was silly, but that is my favorite kind, as I need to laugh & smile when I'm writing. It maybe the healthiest thing we can do with each other. So thank you very much, my dear friend, as I truly appreciate your kind words, and being silly right along with me.
Comment from LisaMay
I enjoyed your well written and entertaining poem in mono-rhyme. Those sneezes got the better of her and her squeezed peaches... but I don't know what 'Reeses' refers to. Is it some American thing? Are they incontinence underpants?

Thank you Lisa, and I apologize for assuming that everyone would know about Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They are One of America's. favorite candy and to call them Reese's, is equivalent to calling Coca Cola a
Coke. But I thank you so much for your very kind review.
Comment from l.raven

old age creeps up on you...and it's
not always safe to sneeze to much...
at least when your out on the town...

You're so cute! And Sweet! There is just something about Dr Seuss that I have always loved, so it was worth a try. We'll see after the voting is done tonight and tomorrow. But regardless how that goes, I can't thank you for enough for your kind words!

Thank you so much Steve, as it seems to be the Dr Seuss fans love it, but there's always different opinions out there no matter what we do, right.
I do appreciate your very kind review, so we'll see how it' goes since they are voting on it tonight and tomorrow I think. Thanks again,

Excellent entry for the This is serious writing prompt contest. I like the presentation too.
Your poem is a funny way to think about ageing. It's great. I love Dr Seuss.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sallyo
That's a fine example of single rhyme... I've tried that style and it's difficult. You worked in the sly humour and misdirection... I'm assuming Reeses are sweets?

Yes, they were Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! Thank you so much for your kind words and review, as this was my first attempt to a Dr Seuss type poem, as he has always been my favorite author. So thank you again!
