'Me And Spiggo-Thingo.' This is an excellent attempt at Humor poetry. The structure is quite sound, and the formulation very good. Well done.

Welcome.

I just like this due to its 'strordinary' humor. Nice job on getting a Spygmomanometer to take on a name and extended metaphor as a dinosaur of sorts. So funny, thanks for brightening my day.

Very well done indeed. I love the rhymes - the whole thing reads so well, and the way you incorporated all those diseases was really clever.

A couple of little things:

But then they fill them up with folk whose orifices (are) streaming

The shook her head and tapped the glass- Then

Lol this was hilarious, but so true. Hospitals are very clean but so full of disease you're almost afraid to touch anything, so it's like "stay away" lol

This is a great read. The language is real and the rhyme perfect. I think there's nothing better than good humour and this is exceptional. Congratulations on the two awards - both well deserved. A great start to my day.

Your print is too small to read comfortably, steve.

"THE shook her head and tapped the glass and swirled it round and round." THEN

"'strordinary vigour." LOL! Well done!

That was terrific rhyming and dead on rhythm. I really enjoyed the story. Glad you discovered the problem before it took you, steve. Take your pill regularly. I look forward to many more of these. In larger print, though.

Sorry about the problem with print size - smaller than my usual because I was trying to keep the longer lines on one line.

Thanks for reviewing and glad you enjoyed....

The shook her - Then shook her

I thought that this piece was excellent. I think we all cringe a little at having to go to the doctors, at least I know I do. Most of the time their answer is pills, so I don't exactly trust most doctors either. Anyways, this piece flowed perfectly, made fantastic use of assonances and was a fun read overall so thanks for sharing :)

Glad your hypertension is under control. Your story told in iambic meter is just amazing. It's very entertaining. The rhyming is perfect. Love the title, that alone got me interested. Give it a thumb-wagging thumbs up! Les

Comment from AudreyRose

Excellent

This was an adorable and funny poem :-) The beat was smooth and even, the rhymes were all spot on.
2 things I noticed-
"whose orifices [are] streaming"- should this have the word are in it?
diarrh[o]ea; - no "o" in this word
you did great job!

Excellent

This is quite an exaggerated masterpiece with good rhyme and rhythm. It holds the attention of the reader and uses good description. Keep up the good work and don't get too engulfed in clinics and bacteria.
