I love it! What a great entry for this particular contest - we all love that object, and many of us loved it more during lockdowns! That picture is priceless, and the last line is a winner. Good luck!
In the second line you missed the 'h' in crutch. I thought you had an awful lot of commas, but I assume they are there to create a pause in the reading?

Thanks so much Pam! Unfortunately my style of writing needs a comma as my lines are so long and it wouldn't come together w/o it.
Thank you for catching that h in crutch. Nobody else did!
Thanks for the lovely review so ver much, my friend!

lol, I loved this - take away the bacon and cake!!!! I think us humans are always seeking something that's bad or dangerous - there's a certain comfort and satisfaction to it! This was lots of fun and I very much enjoyed the read.

PS - not sure about the font - it was quite difficult to read

Thanks Mike for your fun comments and review. Funny you mentioned the font, because I just went in and got rid of the italic and bold. It might be worth another look, because I added one more stanza that I think you'll get a kick out of. Would you please do me a favor and take another look at both the font and stanza & tell me what you think?
Comment from Pearl Edwards
Very clever and a very amusing write about another downside to Covid. I love the pig cloud and how you've used that as a sign for your dilemma, LOL
Good luck in the contest.
Cheers

Thanks Pearl, as it was kinda fun to write. I just went and changed the font as it was hard to read and I added a line I thought was good; something about when pigs fly. Thank you for the lovely review and comments
Comment from Whitewave
I've heard about the cow that jumped over the moon but never thought I'd see a pig flyin' over the clouds! What an answer to your prayer, or perhaps a little 'food for thought'!
And I've heard that pigs are good at jigs so that might help you dance.
Covid was a coward and didn't care a bit
if we lost our waistline and felt a lot less fit.
Thanks for your verse. It's a good laugh.

And you just made me think of another, that I think I will add to my poem somehow.. "when pigs fly"
And I love your little poem! Cute!
Thanks for the fun review!

So glad to hear that.
Comment from LisaMay
Keep dancing a little jig because exercise is helpful for the waistline also. That pig cloud is priceless! Your humorous poem is very entertaining and relatable, written in an accessible style with effective rhymes.
(It might be my older eyes, but I find that thick slanted font hard to read.)

Funny you should say that about the font, I was thinking of changing it as it's kind of hard on my eyes too. Thank you for that.
Also thank you for the lovely & fun review and comments
Comment from Donna G. (aka Sam Duck)
Food! Why didn't I think of that? I couldn't think of an object to write about. But I feel just like you about food. I empathize, and you have expressed it so well! And the cloud pig is hilarious! Great poem. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is such a HOOT! I Love it--the poem and the artwork! Your couplets are well-written, descriptive, and varied in their explanations of why the overeating is perfectly understandable. LOL!

Wow, thank you so very much Janice, for your incredibly generous 6 stars and comments! You have no idea how much it means to me. Thank you again my dear friend!
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
It's a cute poem and one I can relate to. However, your rhyme scheme isn't always on point. You may want to check some of the lines. While virus and crisis are near rhyme words, they are not exact rhyme. Also, some of the lines seems a bit forced such as the butter and stutter line. I wish the best for you in the contest.

Sandra, sometimes it may seem that way if you aren't reading them in the right rhythm. Not being defensive, but since the review right before this one was a six star from an author who is well respected for her knowledge of poetry, and every other review said all the opposite comments regarding this poem, it can be quite confusing. Other than that I do thank you for your kind comments.

Sorry, I didn't score as the others. I could not because I am me. Not everyone like carrots, but they are still a great vegetable for most. My critique shouldn't be taken personal. I wish you luck in the contest.
Comment from Joanne Gill-Maddick
This is a nicely written poem. It has a great flow and rhyme scheme. Awesome photo to compliment your words as well. We'll done. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello author, a timely poem. Covid has led to lots of overeating.
I was under control in year One, but in the second year, I just threw
my hands up and surrendered ... hey if I'm cooking all this good food,
I might as well eat it--right??? That was my rationale. I'm trying to
diet now, but summer is coming and so are BBQ's. There I go again ...
more rationalization. Your poem reads and flows well and has good
imagery within. I especially liked:
Then many restaurants, started to deliver
I'm thankful I'm not drinking too, at least I'll save my liver
(Me too. Not drinking here, but many senior citizens are now drinking
or have increased their drinking--not good because many of them are on medications. Yes, Covid is responsible for a lot of mishaps)
Author, If you keep dancing a jig and burning up those calories, you'll be able to eat all the snacks and ice cream that you want ... and maybe some pizza too.
Lovely artwork. Well done. Your poem made me smile. LateBloomer
