I don't care who you are, this is funny. A good contest entry. You call a spade a spade. I appreciate that. I love Will Rogers. And never forget: No matter where you go, there you are! :-) Karen

Wow! Three nice reviews in one day from one lady! I am not going to say, "we've got to stop meeting this way!" It was not that I was on a roll with these 3, they just happened to put three up that I could relate to. So good to know that you were amused and entertained. Very Merry Christmas and entertaining New Year to you and yours!

I have hardly ever seen you on here, so I reviewed you because you are good. Because I had absolutely no idea about you. You are someone whose writing I liked.
Texas produces a lot of creative people. :-)

Amen! Ole Will Rogers may be from just north of the Red River, but he had it right. But writing a poem no less for a contest that seems to cry out for prose shows just how talented a Texan you are. Well Done. Terry.

Thanks, Terry. Sometimes a poem just comes out. Sort of like a beer burp. It was fun to write. But, I cannot remember the last time someone accused me of being talented. Thanks again.

Exceptional

Will Rogers, who was quite the card ... whatever that means was right when he said, "You can always tell a Texan. But, you can't tell him much!"
And you add to that mystique, for who opther than a Texan would claim to be the biggest bores?
Well done and quite funny.

I was once hosting a lunch in a Paris bistro for some VIPs with a French drilling company. The boss listened to a short story I told then said to his team, "Take anything a Texan says and divide it in half!" Even the French! Anyway, we is what we is and I ain't changin'! Thanks for stopping by and the nice "Atta Boy". Merry Christmas!

It's funny you mentioned the Will Rogers quote as I thought of it as I was reading your poem. And a very fun read it is. I also like what your mama had to say about telling a story. A great entry for the contest. I wish you the best for your efforts.

Thank you for a nice review. Brining a lady a smile is always a pleasure. I write for fun and self-amusement and I think you do as well. And, we share a love of foreign places. Me more the Far East and South America, but 3 trips to Ireland were the best. You and I also share lengthy marriages, me at 47 with 6 grands. Merry Christmas!

This is an interesting and amusing poem about confession. Sometimes it can be good for the soul and other times it can get us into a whole lot of trouble. Good luck.

Thanks for your nice review. In the interest of brevity, I did not cover the empowering aspects of alcoholic beverages when introduced into moments of confession. And, I was cautious to write my confession only in the early morning. By noon, it could have been much longer and entertaining...
