Sometimes Mr Bill you come up with the most off the wall poems/prose on here. But how can not one enjoy your whimsical words of wiz-dumb I know I can't !!! And that is not just a verbal "con job" either lol

Ha-ha! This is what I'm talkin' about. There's a "Mack the Knife" feel about this poem.

I could tell I was going to like this the moment you rhymed Beppotoozoleema with "schemer", giving it a Brooklyn-esque feeling to it.

A fun read all the way through, friend.

    Thank you, Jay, for the great review. I should probably stick to this format.

    The bad was as much on me for the Three Stooges comment. I didn't mean it negatively. This one, though, I thought was funny with a cockeyed believability.

Funny poem about Barney Beppotoozoleema. What a name! LOL
These guys sound like mobsters. Poor Dexter. I think you did a good job with this poem.

this is a cute write, bill, I like your writing format that you used with the rhyming tercets and the last line that rhymed all the way through. I know he can't sell the san Francisco bridge because I own it and the Brooklyn bridge, lol

Bill;
- I truly love the story, as it was written it in a form of language that was part of the scheme and concept of the poem. However, the rhythmic flow of the poem was a little bit wavered And I found it also to be a little choppy. Which made for the reading to be slow and not as smooth.
-Good use of enjambment
-the storyline of concepts was ingeniously imagined and truly inventive and ingeniously creative.
-The imagery was astounding which was exquisitely expressive and vividly and demonstratively descriptive throughout.
-Thank you for sharing and posting this and may the good Lord be with you forever.
Alex

When does the British English translation come out, Bill? I tthink this is rather good but I can't be sure. Jeez! Talk about two nations divided by a common language! This takes the biscuit. Great fun!

Hilarious. There is always one sucker waiting to be conned. I love the names you have given your characters, Barney would be bored stiff within a week if he went legit.

What goes around comes around. I truly believe that. Love the different names you've chosen. Quite unbelievable in selling the San Francisco bridge, but the bigger the lie the more it's believed. Very humorous. Great! Les

This work has reached the exceptional level

Bep-po-too-zol-em-ma... Sufferin' syllable succotash, Bill. That's one last name filled with more syllables than Merrian Webster's Dictionary, LOL!

This alliteration-laden, funny and very clever poem about a trio of gangland ne'er-do-wells was not only hilarious (to me, anyhow), but the unique, limerick-like rhyme scheme you employed in writing it made the poem for me. The rhythm is snappy, the cadence comes fast & furious (when read aloud, as all poetry "should " be when being reviewed...ahem), and the story itself is very cleverly composed.

Outstanding! ~Dean :}

    Hah, who made whose day? I had one helluva laugh after reading this, so I guess we can call it even, lol.

    You're more than welcome, Bill. I've been savin' a sixer back for just the right post, and this one was it for me.
