This read perfectly from word one till the last.
I have not read every posting in this rogue banter, but those that I have read, did not disappoint.

Rhyming was spot on, sensible and the pace was also very well kept. Best if luck vs the Hens!!

    I think he's back for awhile, Maureen, and it means a lot that you enjoy (and understand) that we're just having fun with it all. Many thanks, and I hope you had fun last night with a FF hose. ;)

I'm new to your work & didn't know what to expect from the warning before I read the poem. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed what transpired in the verses as I continued reading. Your author's notes educated me on the type of poetry I was engaging in & why there was a specific rhythm & flow. I appreciated the piece and will look for more in this series.

    Thank you very much, CC, for your great review. We have a great time with it, and I'm just one rogue against a bunch of clucking hens...all of whom I love bantering with.

It seems to me a victory tune, the Rogue is surely humming
But hun you're ego's so damn big I'll ALWAYS hear you cumming
A stallion, cock, no matter what, a mobile phallic bullet
The guises worn must surely prove you just sit round and pull it!

    Love it, luv! You so rock me, jester, with your witticism and backhandedness to my backside. Stings so good, baby. Thank you. :)

    It ain't pulling what I'm doing. It's STROKIN'. But something has to drive the rhythm of it. Know what it is? Disco booty, baby.
reply by closetpoetjester on 22-Mar-2014
    You seem hell bent on victory, yes I still hear you humming
    You're rhythm's good, but hark do I hear beating or just strumming?
    The cutey virtual booty, that you're sure you're damn well pokin'
    Knows all too well, you're all HARD sell and just sit home there stroking.

    LMAO

Happy Friday Evening, David

You've provided another fun read and addition to your ever growing Rogue Library of creative verse, amazing double entendres and adroit poetic skill with multiple literary devices such as metre, rhyme, both internal and end, and continued development of the plot. I'm just wondering what Gloria Steinman might say?! LOL.

Well done, my friend, and a good read with some fine Malbec from the Argentine on this erstwhile arduous, Monday-kind-of-Friday.

-Ray

    Thanks so much, my friend, for your great review, my friend. Sorry to hear your Friday felt like a Monday, but I know what you mean, brother. I appreciate your support here, and Gloria is welcome to join in if she'd like. ;) I'm all for females...if not feminism.

Haha. Just what needed at the end of a very long and stressful week. :) I'm giving you the extra star, in part, because you managed to find a decent slant rhyme for Pimpernel. I really should try to write a response to this, but my creative energies have all been sucked out of me by too many weeks of working insane hours. *sigh* Maybe I do need a Rogue in my life to...er...ease the stress I'm under.

    A sixer on a rogue piece. What a pleasant surprise, my friend, and thank you for that! I'm so glad you take it in the spirit intended, and I'd love to have you join the fray. The rogue is from the south, after all, and likes the extra heat that you could bring. ;) The rogue is always here for you, lady.

a harlot?...Pump her well!

BRAVO! What an awesome play on words! Did you just make that up? I guess so... and it's brilliant! Tho I detest the rogue and all his poems, I'd give this a six just for that phrase... if I had one.

    :) Thank you, Phyllis, I was actually pretty pleased by that one, and had it in my pocket to use at some point. It felt like the time to pull it out...so to speak. :) The rogue is a wretch for sure, and I know it as well as he does...but it really is all in good fun, even if you may not feel it. It stirs the creative juices, and helps overall, I think. Thanks for stopping by, my friend. About to check in on Ginger and Luke now!

A tad scary that you've written about something that's the thrust of the next rogue riposte I'm cooking up! A nice effort dear friend to (over) come (the frenemy), but we're STILL not, er, licked by you;-)
Even so, as one of the flag bearers for the sisterhood, it kills me, just KILLS me, to say this is an exceptional piece of writing. I'd go so far as to say it's your best in the series.

I would suggest that pump 'er well would be better than 'pump her well', but I know you abhor elision (and I'm suggesting that I'd suggest it just to taunt you LOL!)

Some classic lines, in fact, pretty much every one of them is outstanding. So have a sixer, D, and start to psyche yourself up for a roasting in the not too distant future!

Cheers
Paula

    Yes, be careful what you think, m'lady, as the rogue is usually a step ahead...partly to stay ahead of Gloria's BOB. ;) Thank you so much, and I DO like your suggestion. I don't even count that among the elisions I don't like. I don't like eliding words for the sake of fitting meter, OR notating them that way when the reader should be able to figure it out without the little cheat method. Reverse syntax is my biggest no-no in writing, though.

    Many thanks, my dear, and it sounds like you've already got the pot boiling for next week.

David, David, David....you've outdone yourself. This, I think, is one of your best. I shall think about an answer, but truly, this type of fencing is best left to the pros.

Favorite line: He's never reckless, nervous, or neglectful of a curve - Has to be, it is actually a lovely line, well, in comparison. So, go forward in search of that pie...you do remember Stephen King's pie story...Thinner?

Love it. AT=/

    Thank you very much, my dear. I really appreciate that, as it was fun to write, and I think I'll actually do one most Fridays for the people I'm closest to on the site, and damn the rest. I do remember Thinner! ;)
