Oh, Steve, you nailed this one. So glad I didn't enter.
Not only did you pick the perfect deceased,
You gave him one blast of a send off.
Off the record, Steve, do the words 'Human Cannonball'
appear anywhere on your resume?
Just curious.
Peace, Lee

Wrecking Ball, perhaps. I am about to do a job on Robert Frost's 'Stopping By Woods...'
Thanks for the review.

Hi, Steve, congratulations on your win. I wonder why I missed it in the first place. This is witty, though a bit scary to imagine how his life expired! But of course this is fiction...:)

Thank you - I guess you must be one of the late voters who swung this my way, so thanks for that too.

This came right on time for me. My afternoon lacked humor. Poor Bullet Ben Bacall...The artwork selection is a perfect compliment to this poem. Good luck in the contest. Thanks for sharing.

Very witty use of nickname 'Bullet' for Ben, the human Cannonball
I like the double meaning of 'fired' too.
Hope you do well in the contest.

This is very well-written and funny--using alliteration, rhyme (including internal rhyme), and a set meter. I like rhymed, metered poems--especially when they're this good.
