There was a rythm to this verse that made it very special. The rhyming, too, was well done. I found nothing but a good dose of nonsense and that answered the challenge.

Fantastic and so very musical, something which i always look for in poetry, especially the humorous ones. There is great intellect on show in your writing, which is crafted wonderfully. Has ended my night with a grin. Thankyou for posting this and huge applause for the effort.

A well written and laid out poem that is enjoyable and interesting to read from the start to finish. This poem is filled with very nice flowing rhymes and a coherent rhythm.

    Thanks, Brooke - a Six from you is special - I am rather pleased with this one, myself. Think I got the bouncy rhythm and the extra sound features just about right.

This is a funny, frisky, folly. This poem is so good, it has a limerick kind of feel to it and yet it is more than a limerick. It is really just a fun poem. It may not be suitable for very young children as the reference to bunnies being eaten may upset some children. Very good write.

    Thank you - yes, I tried for that bouncy rhythm and fun use of words for extra effect - fortunately the voters agreed.

I'm still laughing, but the syntax, language, rhythm, rhyme, and imagery are no laughing matter. Serial stuff only a pro could could dish out. Great stuff--story, and best of luck in the contest.

    Only if you win the contest, you do OK. Still waiting for another Jock and In adventure.

    Maybe In and Cheezel would make a good pair!?

Funny. Love the rhyming a pictures at the race. The bit about Cheezel being a sinner made me laugh out loud yes indeed it did. Hope you will tell us more about this character you have created...now that he (I think) has come to life.

    Oh, yes, Cheezel is definitely a male, and a rather naughty one at that - you could say he's 'stoatily' unrepentant. Others have requested a sequel - let's see if the tired old brain can get into that zone again....
