Comment from Ridley Williams
Hi Brooke,
Haha, this one made me laugh! It also brought back memories of childhood. I still remember my mom telling me not to "wreck the family name", growing up, lol. Of course, she picked what clothes I would wear, and choose how my hair was cut, so I felt she should take some of the responsibility if I was embarrassing to behold. I hated the "flat-top" I was forced to wear and clothes make the man right? Well, that was many years ago and, I must say, I did enjoy picking out the styles for my own kids,(turn-about's fair play, right? Lol).
Loved the picture of Sawyer in the tub, and he was right about that laugh! Great job with this theme...an enjoyable read.
Best wishes, Bill

Comment from Janet Foor
Delightful as always Brooke. Great "wildly, wildly modified triolet".
Good rhyme in triolet form. Good use of alliteration with whole wide world.
Sweet picture of Sawyer. I used to live to gel my kids hair in the bath.
Well done.

Hi Brooke, this made me laugh aloud, I could almost see that little baby saying these wonderful words that you put in his mouth, your primrose path is our streets of gold, Brilliant poem.

Hello Brooke,
It's a lovely piece of Humor Poetry.
You have depicted the worth loving naughty baby's feelings in a very natural way.
Wording is simple and perfectly matching theme.
Smooth and enchanting flow with nice rhyming scheme and lively imagery.
"....though Mama tries to pin the blame,
the fault is hers, it's clear to see...."
Excellent!

Shakespeare uses 'primrose path' in Hamlet I think as opposed to the 'steep and thorny way to Heaven'.
This is a delightful little poem, a little dependent on the photo perhaps.
Makes me wonder about some of those 'funny' videos we see on TV and whether those starring all approve of having their idiocies revealed to the world.

Hi Brooke :) I enjoyed how you modified this double triolet, it's delightful :)
Fantastic rhyme and meter as always, a complete pleasure to read.
I love the photo of Sawyer with his bath time hairdo! I've loads of pics of Ben, Katie and Rebecca with 'that' hairdo!
Kindest regards, Debra :) x

Comment from ArtGal
LOL, some day Sawyer will get back at her for this, but it really isn't that bad. His hair is a bit wild, but nothing shows that shouldn't, lol. My son still talks of the picture on the potty as I was training him. Not only completely naked but asleep!!! I don't think he'll ever forgive me, so tell Sawyer that this is nothing, and just laugh about it. . .Sharon

A humorous read that really caught my attention. Very creative & what an action to yes, pin it on Mama...Because Sawyer would never have gelled his hair like this..All, in good fun, with no offense, to Mama, because Grandma is having some fun writing this clever piece, making an interesting piece of poetry & too, showing us the proper use of two wildly wildly modified triolets, if we ever decide to venture that way.

Ah, what fun! Sawyer looks so cute like that. And yes, I agree - she did it so the whole wide world could laugh. What fun! This is going to be an image that Sawyer will come back to look at one day and then laugh again.
