OH god, this is amazingly disgusting!
And I think I haven't laughed so hard in a while.
I will use the line about gold tomorrow, kids always kids!

Thak you!
I love to hear that my fellow poets get a laugh from my musings!
We all need a break, and well, my crazy monkey just had to come out and play on the keyboard!
Thank you again my friend, I am honored.

This is definitely the most unusual subject for a poem in my experience -lol. You've done the story fine my friend. It reads well, the flow is good and the rhymes work.

Thanks Lee.
It actually started as a romantic quatrain, if you just read the first line. But when I wrote the line down, this voice in my head yells, "when I met Scratchy ass McGee!" And the rest is history. Go figure!
Thanks for stopping in my fine poet friend.

Comment from Joan E.
I discovered in your notes that you have your dad's sense of humor! I also was delighted to hear that you have melody for the lyrics and look forward to hearing the song in the future.
Now for your poem: I enjoyed all of your strong rhymes and rhythm. I especially liked your "crystal glass" simile and your punch line. I'm glad you had fun writing this whimsy and shared it with us.

I do take after "Pops", if only in his humor.
I'm glad I could make you smile for awhile!

Comment from Lani2
I loved your poem. I'll bet there were a lot of old scratchy asses out there at Stockwell pass. This was one of the funniest poems I have read. I would love to hear it with music, especially the guitar. The picture of old scratchy ass is prerty good too. Lani2

Well, Curt, this is about the funniest thing I've read in ages - and now I know you get your marvelous sense of humor from your dad. What fun is this story???? I've never read anything quite this disgustingly gross that was also so innocently funny - this is the kind of poem that could make kids fall in love with the whole concept of poetry, and it sure entertained this 58 year old woman too - great flow, great rhyme, wicked humor - you should "just have fun" more often!!!!!!! Brooke :-)

Curt,
Your poem is quite memorable:) lol I enjoyed reading your author notes and your tale is well rhymed and it has just a tad too vivid imagery for me...
This was funny:
"We claimed a miracle had transpired
and blessed as such should be retired."

This reminds me of Robert Service's poem about Sam McGee only your poem goes in a different direction. Great rhyming and story here, this is fun to read.
