I love this poem. Tongue in cheek, but a true longing. All of this is why I have been a virtual hermit much of my life. Love peace and solitude. Blessings, Barbara

    Thank you Barbara. Just my little rant. I try not to let people get to me, but every once in a while, they just do. (smile)

This is so well written and fun to read. So many of us encounter sandpaper people so we easily relate to the frustration and angst that comes with dealing with them. So well done.

Oh yes, I know many sandpaper people. I tolerate them but they do go "against my grain." Good name for a certain type of individual.

Para 1: CONSIDER removing extra spaces after (show.) and (tree) to make the paragraph more cohesive.

Nice story, I think I would feel better too, after getting that off my chest.

Very well written work. It did have the Anapestic tetrameter rhythm and I found myself almost humming.

The sandpaper-ish people are everywhere. God help us.

I'm glad you feel better.

I really enjoyed your rant, especially as it was written in rhyme, it made it far more exciting. The double, internal, and end rhyme was fabulous. I'm so glad you got it all off your chest! LOL! Well done, and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

This poem made me giggle as I thought back to the sandpaper men that have passed through my life. The only thing I would say is it is in the wrong category. It should be under poetry and not stories. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend.

Congratulations, this is a very creative rant for this contest, good luck. I love the presentation as a poem. The sandpaper people are very visual and something we all can relate to right away. Excellent work. Terry.

Your title then line above it made me groan since it is a pun of sorts. Yet I chose to move ahead and read this anyway. Well, I thoroughly enjoyed this rant and loved the rhyme scheme throughout. It bounced along merrily and I loved the descriptions of the sandpaper people. You state your case well.
Well done! Thanks for sharing your new word with us. I appreciate your rant and your keen sense of humor and fun.
Jesse
