Great job with this, Don. Congratulations for winning second in the contest. A well written poem that I enjoyed reading and you left us with a question to answer. The theory is that we are all presently living parallel lives in other universes. All the choices we have not made in this universe, we are currently making in the others. Marilyn

Yes, similarly, it could be theorized that if a monkey tapped away continually on a computer keyboard, eventually it will type the first edition of Darwin's "On the Origin of the Species."
Thanks for your compliments and comments on "No Sane Person," Marilyn. Much appreciated.

Comment from Brigitte Elko
No one has ever accused me of being sane, so I really loved this poem. Great job. It was interesting to watch you/doppelganger wade through this poem and tell what is going on. The comparisons are very entertaining, indeed. Good luck in the contest.
Fan friend,
Brigitte

Thank you for that, Brigitte. It's exactly the kind of review we write for.

I enjoyed reading your poem "No Sane Person Will Believe This". You rhymed it well except for lines nine and ten and lines five and six in the second last verse and lines one and two in the last verse. You may wish to review these if it was meant to be a rhyming poem.
All the best.

Maeybell, I'm disappointed at your disapproval of the poem's use of rhyme. As a poet, you must know that close rhymes are not only acceptable, but often, by design, improvements on standard rhymes (nose and close, for example).
Your reviews in the past have been complimentary, so this one is particularly surprising.
When you re-think this, I trust you will revise your (blind) 4-star rating.

I have just re read your poem. I admit it is an entertaining poem and well written.. I am sorry but I am a firm believer in rhyme (I believe Shakespear did) I would be interested in others' opinions. Though some don't even notice grammar or spelling mistakes.
Sincerely
Marybell1.

A really fun and entertaining poem that meets the contest challenge! I think we all must have some doppelganger in this world of 6 billion. But you needn't worry, I'm sure yours doesn't also write poetry! Wish you the best in the contest!

Thank you for your latest terrific review, Lyenochka. This one is especially welcome, because another reviewer just four-starred my quirky poem because she disapproved of my use of nose and close as rhymes, and other crimes. So, thanks again.

Lol! "Crimes" of poetry? Oh, dear. But then again, the reviewer could be following the FS stated rating rules which makes a four star really good.

Nope, she's not a newbie. Maybe she was drinking.
