Hello Michael (scared to call you anything else in case I offend) - this is a thoroughly good read. I feel I've been missing out on the goss but enjoyed reading between the lines with this piece.
Nicely played, especially the smoke screen of roasting yourself :-) ....annnnyyyywaaaayyyy, thank you for a most entertaining read and good luck in the Roast competition. As I like my steak, this is well done! ~DD

I like the artwork you choose to go with your roast
you captured my attention from the start.
I could not stop laughing for the words you wrote down
You didn't mix your words, you and your muse have wrote down.
I'm glad my name was not in that number.

"Dear Tom" is an extremely well-written and entertaining piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. Having been squelched several years ago, it was a present given to me, not even thinly disguised. Squeak! If you can't stand the heat then don't go into the kitchen.

I'm not sure how much flying close to the wind is allowed for this contest, Mikey, but I see Tom hasn't disqualified it yet...and neither should he, as it's far milder than I would write about two members who I can't stand/don't trust an inch - no names of course.
Not sure about your praise (I THINK LOL) of fanstory, as I reckon it's on its last legs with so few writers of merit left (YOU being one of them).
I love self-effacement, and you manage it yet at the same time make yourself sound interesting, you crafty bugger ;-)
My deserved sixer has nothing to do with your mention of the extremely charming, light-hearted and talented, 'Domino'. Haha.
Good luck in the contest.
Cheers, Ray

You're just purely fantastic, Mikey (now don't tell me you really don't like the name!). This roasting business strikes me as a lot of fun, and I have a mind to try it myself. You're really outdone yourself here, though - the young girls (who for some unknowable reason seem not to like hippie dudes), the older dames, like yours truly, our dear Domino (where is he???) the dude Dean, and of course Gypsy... and Tom. Wonderful job, it's a labor of love to roast our friends, isn't it? :))

This was a fun read. YOU MAKE many good points, and a few of them I understand.lol. I try to not get too involved with the gossip and mayhem. You shine a little light on it for me though. I loved your first line, and your self deprecating humour is always a treat. God blesses you sir.

So very funny, mikey. I love it and am sure that Tom will as well. Who knows, maybe an award is in the offing--now that attracts the girls--ribbons you know. Keep on entertaining us, my friend. I didn't do the potlatch because I write so much from my dogs point of view. Maybe I could write from the viewpoint of a wild animal. I'll give that some thought~Debbie

Sooooooo, anywayyyyyyy, you hate the name Mikey? LOL. Your poem reads like you had a lot of fun writing it. But you know what they say about a joke? Wellllll, they say the same thing about a 'roast'...
LOL. This was fun, Son. :)) (There must be something in the air...) I liked the strange elongated words, in case you didn't notice.
Best of luck, Michael. < see? :)) I LIKE hippies. Peace, brother.
