LOL. No doubt he was my friend. I was thinking about the toad and the motor car. Something we would read as a child. Thanks for sharing. Best to you in the contest.

    Hi bro, Old contest long gone but so glad you came along I made "All Time Best" so these extra reviews will move that up some more before I go, pretty soon. Lord Bless.

Hahahaha, Geoff, I liked this little gem of a poem. It is a fun read with great imagery and then It rhymes as well. It's a darn shame that you're leaving. Can't you be persuaded to stay on under the name you have now? All best. Ulla:)))

    Ulla, appreciate the lovely review and so glad it made All Time best at last. There is a way for me to stay, think about it. But I don't expect you to make it possible ok. You are the only one, or pretty well, anyway that is so keen for me to stay. My "swansong": poem I will put up nearer my departure will again reinforce a lot of the reasons I am going off the pay side.

    Okay, Geoff, I'll wait for you 'swansong'.:)))

    Hi there thanks for coming by. This is an ancient poem. I don't know what happened to that novel you were writing. Getting very close to pulling the paying account plug here. I think I am connected through FREE account Pinny2 for after Mid November.

I know where Ryde is, I visit friends close by when in Sydney. Loved your Ode For A Toad. How could he have fasted at night and still have his clothes become too tight? Just kidding
Best regards,
Sylvia

Your ultra-concise poem is well-written and clever, conveying a message about how those pounds can pile up over the years. The line about fasting at night is especially funny, since sleeping people don't eat anyway!

    Well done new friend. Can't remember if we have met before. Will fan you from my FREE account (Pinny2) as I leave the paying (sankey) site Mid November. Nice to meet another new friend and thanks for the great review on a very old poem. Contest long gone.

    Hi Gert, contest long over. This is an oldie that some said they missed on the first round. Thanks for coming by.Using up Funny money before I go off sankey in Mid November. I think we are in touch through FREE account Pinny2. Can't remember if we are in touch by e-mail will let you all know where i am posting after I get it sorted. Can't review or post on Pinny2 but can notify you of errors or what I thinkm of your stuff. The Greenback exchange rate is JUST ONE of the reasons I am quitting paying in here.

This is really cute. I want to thank you for re-posting it. I missed it the first time around and it's definitely my loss. I enjoyed reading it this time. The flow is really fun.

A very well-written Limerick about the way you are build seems that you may be a little over weight. No one thought it might be the clothes that shrinked in the wash.

"The Ode for a Toad is an Odd Contest Entry"
Rich in Theme and Imagery.
...
It read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues as well.
...
Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
...
Good luck with this and have a great day.
