Comment from Joan E.
A real trip--ha, ha, ha! Your parody of Silverstein's ode to a sidewalk made me laugh at the "nasty place". Smiles- Joan

Thank you Joan. Glad you enjoyed it.
Comment from Pantygynt
This is a fine parody. i wouldn't say it lampoons the original but rather that it complements it from a different viewpoint as times have changed and garbage soils the sreets and the countryside. What is the matter with folk these days? I particularly like the expression "root-pushed cracks", and the juxtaposition of "basic basis", which I can only describe as alliteration with knobs on. I wrote a parody on Tennyson's Charge of the Light Brigade in response to the monthly challenge in the poetry group to which I belong. This has tempted me to post it here.

Comment from RockyBallad
Very well done! I read it all three times because I found it awe-inspiring that a lot of thought could be derived from a broken sidewalk. Some people find inspiration in the most unlikely of places - and then to create a parody! Just great! :-) The structure was well done.

Comment from rod007
This parody worked well in following the format and rhythm of the original poem. But you have to be careful, Tom. Avoid the nooks and crannies where danger lurks or other toes will follow the fate of that broken toe! Well done, Tom.
