This work has reached the exceptional level


I thought I was surely
the host with the most
the wonderful man all would toast
reality sucks

I've been here since 2004. I am so far behind that I think I'm first
I got lame (ill) and didn't do squat. I done been lazy long enough. This has inspired me again

-Great artwork!
-You have written quite a roast.
-I like the section about publishing.
-You also manage to get in a few Fanstorians
to roast with your wit.
-The ending about roasting yourself
is a clever twist.
-Good luck in the contest.

Hell-o Michael
It's hard to roast oneself
difficult to hold your fingers to the flame
there's that burning sensation...PAIN
This roast is a little feint and dodge
as you roast mostly others
in the guise of roasting yourself
Defeated by Domino, though
Now there's something to shout to the world
Perhaps the reason for your failure
is the picture of the tiled flowers
behind the blow-dried hair
But in the end, nicely roasted
Crusty old charcoal on the outside,
all mush inside
Good luck in the roasting

"those who talk about me behind my back
talk to those who talk to me too
that's what people who like to talk do
a secret's not a secret
when I already knew
you may wonder have ya reason for envy
all I can say is ...whooooo hooooooo!!!!"

I can relate

Well, I'm poor at understanding "roasts' (just ask Dean). But I did recognize a few names (though I'm still quite new) and you did manage to get me to chuckle so for that I'll say it was an excellent roast.

This is funny. What amazes me is that after being on this site for a while I recognize everyone you talked about, YOU left me out lol That's ok, thank you for that. Clever use of action and storys. Enjoyed it.

Hi, Mike. How does that fire feel on your ass? You sure have the flame close in this roast of yourself. You must be a good sport in addition to being a fun poet. I will be reading more despite your reputation . LOL. Happy Holidays. Bob

Oh, Michael, you are such a wag, a real joker. In the Middle Ages you may have been a court jester! That's why we all love you, so colourful and different. Crazy yes, but lovable... a very Merry Christmas to you, my dear friend, Giddy. :):)
