You certainly met with excellence the writing prompt requirement to treat a serious subject as humor. I love your hyperbole humor, and the last verse was my favorite.

Comment from R.B.Bunn
This was a fun poem about a serious situation. The tone was whimsical and consistent throughout the piece. I don't know why but the nail in the head situation originally striked me as a metaphor for mental health.

Thank you, RB. You may not be too far off with the metaphor, the author doesn't need a nail in his head to be a little crazy at times.
All the best, Yard.
Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
I love this poem and it's whimsical tone. The illustration is a perfect choice and set the mood immediately. The rhymes work well without feeling forced. You did a great job with the prompt, very creative.

Your poem was hilarious. I swear I've seen my dad do this. He once put his fingers in a table saw and cut up his fingertips. He superglued them back together and kept working. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Paul McFarland
Pretty good job on the prompt. Those nail guns can be quite dangerous. Good use of humor in the way you take care of the injury. Should do okay in the contest.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
This is a serious, hilarious poem for sure. The hammer must have gotten carried away with its hammering! It would be terrible to get a nail in a head and then had to pull it out by using a claw hammer. Ouch!

Oh, yes, having a nail in your head is indeed serious--BUT I'm laughing out loud. You have certainly met the challenge of this prompt. The funniest part is your determination to get that picture frame hung up!

Thank you, Janice. Yes, I wanted the picture frame up with a certificate of carpentry accomplishment. But, I reigned myself in.
Tied for 2nd!
All the best Yard.

Deserving result for sure. No picture frames over Easter?
