What a cool send up for the game of CLUE. This could be sent to Milton Bradley and included as an aside game for the players.

    Thank you for taking the time from your own work to review this. I had hoped that readers would have almost as much fun as I did writing it. I played the game of Clue (Cluedo, across the pond) for years. Some guests brought the game with them to my B & B and as I listened to them play, the lines started rattling around in my head. It would seem that they have escaped.

This is a fun creative piece that says the writer had a blast and a challenge. Tell the story, keep the rhyme, keep it moving with pace and interest--good job.

The art work was great here.

One would have to have their eyes opened

At the back of their head to keep alive.

So much happened within these words.

Superb writing! Filled with the mystery of who done it. Also was presented in a very stylishly way. Your rhyming is superb. Sort of reminds me of a Sherlock Holmes case. All the characters have their own interesting tale. Did you ever read of Robert W. Service? If not, I think you should because his style is similar. Great job! Les

The revolving rhyme scheme and the sturdy rhythm kept me searching through the stanzas to the poems clever finale. Great story and builds well. I think, as we're supposed to, that they all had a hand in the foul deed. The very best of luck in the contest.

What a clever,clever poem! Love that you've used the characters from the Cluedo game - a great favourite when we were kids. A pleasure to read this witty and humorous verse, well done!

A very excellent story in a poem for the Clue characters and their weapons of choice. You've brought back memories with this wonderful art, about the movie 'Clue'. Good luck to you in the contest, it was a truly funny yet talented write.

The laughs are worth twice the stars, rosehill! The cast of Clue is at it again - in lymerick form. How wonderfully inventive. :) Nancy

I loved the way this poem skipped along and was so easy to read. It is witty and clever writing and more than once it made me laugh. Good work. Archie

Fabulous fun, and loved the cluedo reference, and "the game's afoot" Holmes references. I adore Sherlock Holmes so this was right up my street.
