LOL!! Okay, somebody (namely one, Jerry Goldberg) had some real fun with this one, didn't he?! ;) Oh, my goodness - you outdid yourself with puntime playing, didn't you?!! ;) :) Thanx for sharing, sir, and good luck (if I didn't already miss the contest)! ;) Yvette

I am a lover of puns. I have had very short ones published in the Chicago
Sun-Times. I enjoyed your puny story. Puns aren't always easy to write.
Good job.

This punny story, A Puny Yarn, is so loaded with puns that it has them coming out its hoo hoo. I least I think that it's puns..

Oh my gosh, this is hilarious. When I saw this contest, I couldn't imagine how it could be done - but you did it with flair and such laugh out loud humor. Well done and good luck in the contest.

Hello, my friend,

Interesting entry for the Bad Puns writing prompt contest.

The story of Tartan the Tailor and Miss Lacy is a tragic love affair gone wrong and has a few puns..

Good luck in the contest.

pi eating ability.(silly, you can't eat math)

free dresses with no strings

But being a bit backward, when it came to writing, he wrote inverse.

She was truly in Seine.

Good job

Oh my oh my Jerome,
This bad pun filled yuck/grimace fest was actually quite fun to read. I read this twice over to make sure that I did not miss any of the witty humor. This style definitely "suited" you dear writer. Maybe you have a chance to sew this contest up with a win.
Good luck.

A very well-written flash fiction about bad puns to make up a story that are wild and hard to believe that it could be true. The lovers relationship don't end well at all.
