This is a wonderful way to describe the difference between well done and rare. I prefer mine well done - not quite that well done (lol), but still...

Comment from Sally Law
Aw, this is delightful, mystery poet. I think I'd have to go with done. I hate the mooing to be coming from the plate.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes in the antonym contest.
Sally Law :)) xo

Comment from Ginda Simpson
A fun example of the antonym poem contest. I am not sure I would want to eat either one of those steaks, but it works very nicely as the subject for your poem, with a touch of humor. Well done! (no pun intended).

Comment from Jesse James Doty
The steak on the right side of the picture looks delicious while the meat on the left looks terrible and I would not eat it if it was the last meat on earth! I think you nailed it with the antonym contest! These two words rare and done show the opposite words at their best!

Comment from Bill Schott
This antonym poem, No Meating in the Middle, is funny and definitely points out the extremes of tastes. I note a missing word in the first line that bugs me to the point of suggesting an alternative line.
Current line has fourteen syllables, but missing, I think, the word "it":
They fried her steak so long; when it came out (it) looked like a shoe
Alternative line:
They fried her steak so long; it came out looking like a shoe
Happy day.

Hi Bill, I get where you were coming from with with missing that word, but some people really have a problem with meter being off and so I left it out on purpose. However Bill, I agree with you completely.
I thank you so much for your awesome comments for my silly poem. You are so appreciated my dear friend!
Comment from Roxanna Andrews
I like my done, but not like an old shoe. I do know people who want it raw. Yuck. My dad like his very rare, I don't know if that's good for you. Well done (no pun intended) =} poem, I hope you do well in the contest.

Comment from Goodadvicechan
This poem meets the four line requirements.
Beef is grilled either well done or rare. This sounds like our political system. It is either the right wing or the left-wing. There is nothing in between.
Either you are in or out.. Just like well done or rare.
Thanks for sharing

Comment from nomi338
There are those people who make being a cook and or server's life difficult. One is like the fairytale character who could eat no fat, and the other could eat no lean. Some desire their meat just warmed up a bit, and the other wants their meat to be practically unidentifiable as meat at all. As long as they are willing to pay full price, just shut up and comply. Fun poem.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your contest entry read well, Mystery Author.
I liked the rhyme as many don't include that
in a style like this. The picture paired perfectly
with your words. I liked the play on words with meating.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan
