I would love to give this four stars... but
it's simply impossible. I can see myself
clicking the four-star button, yet I would
have to have a reason... and I don't have one
because I found this funny and entertaining,
in an idiotic country music sort of way.
And I hate country music.
I do, however, feel that this would help
the country music industry to die, were
this made into a popular song. LOL
Nice one! Fish

Oh geesh, I'm laughing so hard at this. It's fabulous. Where on earth did you get the inspiration?

Love the refrains, and the descriptions had giggling. Particularly this one.
I like my girls cock-eyed with sweaty arm pits
droopin' boobs draggin' the floor

One thing I picked up with the line, "that smells like a menthol and dirt. (whew!)" - I wonder if you could drop the 'a'? The actual smell is menthol so to me it makes more sense to write is a sense rather than a lollie drop.

I know this could be a ditty or song lyrics, what sort of tune would you set it to?

Excellent stuff.
Cheers, Alison

    Thanks Alison!
    I had another say the same thing, and it must be a dialect difference in slang, because I meant it to sound like a menthol cigarette, alluding to the previous line.
    I do have music chorded for this in 3/4 time in a G_C_D_C_G type pattern, and I hope to record it soon!
    thanks again!

    Ahh, I didn't even think of cigarette, but then I've never smoked so not familiar wit the brand. It makes sense now. Would love to hear it once it's recorded. Perhaps you could upload it as an audio file to the poem when it's done?
reply by the author on 17-Feb-2010
    I certainly will!
    Thanks!

    Oh and for your info, just out of interest the reason I thought menthol lolly drop is that you can get them in the shop here for coughs and colds, but also for bad breath or cigarette breath. heheh. Either way, both references work. :)
reply by the author on 17-Feb-2010
    We do too, but we call them either breath mints or cough drops, depending!

This work has reached the exceptional level

I think this is by far one of the funniest poems I have ever read. It certainly deserves six stars and I wish there were more. I think the man in the picture lives around the corner from me. lol

Curt Mongold,
The photo says a thousand words and so does your awesomely amusing poem. I could hear this sung to a Country beat by a Willy Nelson type singer. The title drew me to your excellent poem "Disgusting American Male." Great rhyme and cadence. The descriptive scheme is brilliant. The lines I found funny:
I like my girls cock-eyed with sweaty arm pits
droopin' boobs draggin' the floor
as long as she's goofy or skinny (or fat!)
the last dance is my chance to score!

Great metaphor with 'aquarium glass.' Thinks for making me laugh like crazy.
Melissa.

Hi Curt,

What a fun read this was! The picture alone, is a scream and your words fit it perfectly. I like the refrain and the rhyming. Your sense of humor is shining in every line. Perfect! Your, chainy

And I enjoyed it immensely. I don't mind you writing song lyrics about me, but why did you have to show my picture? Thank God for people with a sense of humor. Thank you for sharing. JeffreyStone

Reminds me of that great 50's song - Get an Ugly Girl to Marry You :-)
hunchbacks with gargoyle toes - you're too funny, Curt - perhaps I should grow a few nosehairs so I can hook this guy! :-) Great cadence, rhyme, vivid descriptive detail and guffaw-inducing humor :-) Brooke

    Thanks Brooke!
    I hoped you would still enjoy my more wry side! I am writing a sequel for the ladies, as I was challenged by our Mrs. M.S. to present an equal and opposing view. Not as easy, I tell ya!
    Thanks again Brooke!
