Hi Brett. I really like your poem, well rhymed and humorous. A fine entry for the contest. I do have a couple suggestions. The presenting colors are too "hot" and font is hard to read. Suggest playing with the colors of background and font for better visual. Also suggest not starting each line with a cap if the thought continues from the previous line. This allows the reader to put the entire thought together easily and there is better continuity. Marilyn

This is a 'Sh are A Story Contest Entree rich in Theme and Imagery.
It flowed well and read well with no grammar issues as well.
Adjective Content and Objective Content were excellent and Descriptive Measures aligned perfectly.
Good luck with this Brett and have a blessed day.

Ha this was a good funny, I like the ending in particular, how you left in a rush, it had a sense of irony or a big F u to the small time judicial system, I really appreciate this piece

    After this ordeal, a "big F u" was in order, do you not think so? Glad you enjoyed this story in a poem. It was my first attempt at such a critter. Appreciate you taking the time to read it and pen a review.

A very well-written story in a poem. When someone's locked up in jail they have to eat what they get or starve to death. After a few days the food starts to get more bearable and the one who brings the food becomes our hero.

The biggest ticket my husband ever got was in South Georgia for speeding in a work zone. There were no workers present but orange cones. It was doubled for work zone that hadn't been worked on in years. We suspected that's how the police made their money in that small town.
Well penned story in a poem
God bless

What a great poem about a small town in Georgia. The anecdotes the main character went through are so trite they are humorous. Well done. On this tale in a verse. It was well done. Good read.
