Comment from Michele Harber
You definitely seem to have met all the requirements on line number, syllable count, consistent theme, lack of rhyme, and the comical twist at the end. Of course, the joke might be on you (or your protagonist). After swimming across the lagoon, how much breath do you think the guy's going to have left for mouth-to-mouth. Then again, a little heavy breathing, in this instance, might not be a bad thing!

Maybe it's the narrator's turn to do the mouth-to-mouth!
-
Wishful thinking?

I'm lucky that way, I can have mouth-to-mouth (giving or receiving) any time my heart desires...well, you know, as long as Bobby's within arm's reach...

Within lips' reach! Do you need an anatomy lesson?!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I'll study, um, hard tonight!!
-
Have fun! I mean, work hard! I mean, um, um ... I'm too young for this!!!
-
Yes, so impressionable! I apologize for, you know, bringing it up...
-
Oh, my virgin ears!!!

You've never used Q-tips??

I'd ask where--and how--but I'm afraid you'd answer.

Very nice twist Rachel for your last line!
Good use of the club entry format to present your well-crafted idea.
IMHO, I favor a larger size font for these short poems to improve their presentation value to FS viewers. Bolding text is your choice or not.

I do, too, Mark, but it's trickier with these club prompts, and I'm not sure why. I had to do a lot of fiddling around last time, and I don't believe I ever did find success. Thank you, though, for reminding me that I need to talk to Gypsy about it. I appreciate your comment!! xo

Rachelle,
Mea culpa! I continue to shorten your given name in previous reviews.

Oh, trust me; I've been called far worse!! Oh! And I did manage to make the Advanced Editor work to our advantage now! Woot! I'm honestly so glad you spoke up. Always know you can do that. xoxo

Well, well, I felt like this was a teenager writing it. The play on words with the mouth to mouth and the humorous tongue in cheek flavor. I really enjoyed this. I think you're a natural at poetry. Why am I not surprised? great job. gretchen
