This is a riot. Loved it from beginning to end. Those meals would cost a fortune with today's postal rates. LOL I was away for a couple of days and got behind reading some entries. I'm glad I didn't miss this one! This is a winner.

Thank you, I actually thought this one might win, but it didn't even place. I think I might have won too many lately. Who knows how the judging is done. I've never gotten so many six star reviews on a poem before. I really appreciate yours.

Wow! Thought you had a winner for sure. Congrats on so many "well deserved" six stars.

Hello Beth,

This is a very well written poem and I cannot understand why it didn't receive a lot more exceptional ratings. Everything about it was great, from the picture, the smooth easy flow of each stanza that makes it so easy to read and understand, right down to the last stanza that finished your story with a bang. Thanks for the laugh...

Great job!!! Good luck in the contest...Bill

Thank you Bill, it got quite a few six ratings and more people told me they were out of them. With only six some run out the first day. I think I posted it Tuesday. I really appreciate your nice comment and the six star rating. I so glad you like it.

Well, he'll be with them the rest of their lives or until early tomorrow and then flushed away. What a wonderfully written poem and great rhyme. Good luck in the contest! Have a great day, and God bless.

Thank Ulla, I glad you got a laugh from this. It was fun to write. Once you get the first verse down the poem sort of writes inself.

Thank LIsa, I got the idea from a site that contain strange true stories but it only bare facts. No names or details not even the country. I created the story around what might have been true or an urban legend. Thanks for the review.

a fun tribute to your grand father and grandmother and his lack of cooking skills and its consequences. I like the humor, and like the story about family and grand parents

Oh my God! This is surely the winner. The story is creative, compelling and humorous, with an upsetting, surprise ending. The meter is perfect throughout this story/poem, making it easy and fun to read. Best wishes in the contest.

Bethshelby: Now, that my tears have (been) dried from laughing, I still can't bring myself to the point of dissecting, disassembling, disrespecting,
destroying or doing "any" thing to this wonderful piece of HUMOROUS writing...Except enjoy it...Over and over again. I must tell you, I started out
laughing a little bit, but as I read on, my giggling became profusely worst
and louder...Then came those last four (4) quatrains...Honest-to-Pete, I had this even funnier feeling...Just thinking about it, I almost soiled myself! Thank you for sharing this and good luck in the contest. teafor2
