Thank you Ann!
The winner is chosen by the poet who gets the most votes in the voting booth in the contests tab. I had a lot of fun with this, and am glad you did too!

Thank you! I've had some people tell me that the mankini that man is wearing is gross, and others like it! Just like everything else, you can't please everyone!
Thanks for the kind comments!
Sincerely,
Curt

I know I reviewed this. How is it that the review is gone?
This is a hilarious entry for the contest which got a tad raunchy with a few of them!! I enjoyed this Curt. A little too much information perhaps ... lol

I'm glad you don't own a mankini, Curt... Because that is just gross! LOL
Your poem cracked me up!
Fun fun fun
This is a witty (as well as insulting, LOL) poem. I'm sure it will do very well in the contest.
Thanks for the laughs (and the disgusting picture) lol
Nice title! Great fun.

Thanks Nic!
Gross is just about right for that mankini he's wearing!
I'm not doing bad at the moment in the voting, but zeezee looks like she might have it. Cies la vie!
Thanks again,
Curt

LOL!!! This was hillarious. And nice insult there at the end. Interesting picture you chose as well... Anyway, good temp and the rhyme didn't seem forced so that's always good. Good luck in the contest.

This is a wonderful and hysterical tribute to your own member of the bored! I love the Borat Picture--I bet you're the only one who understood my poem's quote from him.
And though I am not following all the prescribed meter
it's so hard to do when you speak of my peter. That line was extra funny up here In Canada, where the metre is a unit of measurement that is um, kinda big! Maybe you need to think Kilometre!
Very cute, Curt. And thank you for having this contest. it has been a riot to participate!

Hi, Curt, thought i'd reviewed this, especially as I entered and you sponsored it. now I'm stuck with a 2center. LOL. Love the pic, I'd love one a them bikini thingies but am sure I'd be laughed off the beach!
Obviously 'spunk' has a different meaning over here ('sperm') so i wouldn't fancy one a them women, LOL.
Excellent AABB rhyme and hilarious last line. Good luck and best wishes, Ray xx

Well, I am not sure about your meter but you did a great job describing your..... Oh, never mind. I enjoyed the read. It was fun and funny. The line about the tractor and the barn was my favorite. I've never heard that before. Did you coin it? ZeeZee
