    The smile is what it's all about, although a win in the contest would have been nice as well!

You are a real hard case steveh. You have me in hysterics.
Just how did you manage to fool me to the last stanza.
The best of luck in the contest you silly man.

    Thank you.
    I did try and think how I could foreshadow the ending - the best I could do was change her from sweet and petite to tall and sweet!
    Hanging on to 3rd place by my fingernails at present.

Oops! Not a good thing to do when you're trying to get out of a ticket with a judge!! That's a good way to upset the jud-ge-poo! Oh well...

You have good imagery and a good flow with your poem and rhyme well-you write a compelling story although it is funny-so Roberta was not what the judge thought--well penned write-great job.

excellent use of abcb rhyming
I also like the internal rhymes in the a and c lines
excellent alliteration in growling voice gritty as gravel
and in buxom young wench smartly bowed to the bench
Oh, what a funny funny ending to this amusing story poem - I laughed all the way through and the quatrains are well-composed, so you've fulfilled the contest requirements well!! Brooke

    Thanks, Brooke
    I knew I had tough competition in this as I had already seen the 'mechanic' poem which has a great touch...
    Thought I would pull out all the stops to see if I could topple it.

Very well written and very funny. It's evident that you put a great deal of thought into this poem and it shows.
I really liked the last stanza. Great job and good luck in the contest. Bill

    Thanks, Bill.
    Looks like a three-way go at the top - I voted for the 'Mechanic', but yours is a very funny piece as well. May the best man win!

Excellent and humorous tale. Very well written quatrain poem. The story within it is hilarious. Probably true many times over. Good structure and rhyme. Very enjoyable and well written.

    Well I am sure the bit about 'exploiting her assets' is quite common - dunno about finding the assets to be artificially acquired!
    Thanks for the kind words.

Oh yes, it all makes perfect sense,
but please don't rush to your defence
-i've seen it all a million times
what some will do to promote their rhymes.
but i'll not stoop to such misdeeds
-just go ahead, and fill your needs.

regards, eph.

    Not sure what this is about - if I've done something wrong can you let me know?
