Enjoyed this one very much, Jenny. I could just hear all the YEEEEHAAAs in the background whilst I was reading it. Liked this stanza especially:-

"We has a special guest tonight
it be 'Sea Sick Steve' alright?
he be singin is heart out
as we lot do scream and shout..."

Well done;-)

well I really enjoyed the humor and the voice of the piece, it helps carry it through the rough points, mainly the rhyming style that trips up now and then.

I have trouble reviewing poems as there's rarely enough content to get in depth, but I must say I had some real fun reading this piece. It's nice to see a poem that doesn't wallow in depression or self pity. :D

(I'm harsher than most, I know, but I believe pos and neg must be mixed in a good review)

Hi mikepyro,

you know I thought this one up while I was in the
shower, it just came to me in about three minutes
flat. It wasn't anything serious, or meant to be a
brilliant piece, I just wanted to have a bit of fun.

I was glad you enjoyed the humour of it, don't worry
about anything you say, I'm just glad you read it
and made a comment.

Thanking yer kindly!

Jenny.
