Comment from Caroline M England

Excellent

Your poems always make me smile even when they have so few words. I can imagine the pig not able to grunt properly - lovely play on words here! Nice alliteration too!
Well done Debbie.
Best wishes
Caroline

Oh, I thought this might have been for a contest... The first poem I entered last year was meant for a contest... but I was new and did not realize what i was suppose to do...

Smiling - this delightful and fun little poem put a smile on my face this morning. Oinkless and disgruntled added to this poems charm.

This is a cute play on words with disarmingly disgruntled as the ending two words this is fun to say out loud and full of fancy-free humor for those of us who love pigs and their playfulness.

-Good artwork and nice presentation, Debbie.
-This is a different style for you and a good topic.
-Effective imagery and alliteration tells a mini
story of this poor pig.
-He is in quite a predicament with laryngitis
and isn't having a good day.
-Thanks for sharing it.
-Maybe you can write a follow up when he is better!

Thanks so much, Pam, for your lovely, thoughtful post! I fancied a quick contest and then screwed up:( Take care Debbie

Ohhhh, come ONNNNNNNNN!! How could you? I am, um, STY-mied by the way a woman with such talent as you has chosen to re-ROOT her writing career in such an undignified manner. Do be careful. You reap what you SOW!

Well, I fancied a quick contest and somehow paid my fee and then screwed up! But it was worth it for this review which is arguably (or perhaps not so arguably!) better than my post. Thanks, Elle! xos

Now, that's just hogwash.

And YOU sound disgruntled!

reply by the author on 03-Feb-2024

Well any wasted money on that lot! I don't think I'll ever hear the end of your puns now!

reply by Rachelle Allen on 03-Feb-2024

I'm squealing with delight right now.

I think if I was a pig and caught something that was generally a human affliction, I would certainly be disgruntled too, this is an excellent entry in this contest Debbie, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Thank you, Roy, for your kind review which I greatly appreciate. I screwed up on the contest entry, somehow, so it hasn't been a great start to the day:( Take care Debbie. PS I think animals are equally prone to laryngeal disorders.

Thanks Debbie,

Disgruntled! Like de-oinked :-)
Wonderful little poem. I just love farm humor, of course. You should have put this in the contest!
My first poem to read of the day, and the best way to start today. Thanks for sharing! Julie
