    Thanks for the lovely review. Look for Michael Cahill or michaelcahill's profile someone could not find him as it won't show under MIkey that is his Nickname he probably had before we even knew him. Lovely bloke. Second verse is coming now I know how Cahill is pronounced "up Over" we do it different "Down Under"

I'm not sure what the suggestions suggestions were Geoff, but if you think they're ok, then I'm with you, but pride like your rhyming roping, groping, coping, stoking, poking, stroking, that's all Geoff, well done, blessings, Roy.

    If you read what Mikey wrote about the reviewing system here on FS he makes some good points about rewards being level with the amount of work it takes to review stuff. I can't remember if you only wirte poems or you have written some stories as well I think you have. But there are some really short poems that sometimers give great big rewards for reviewing compared to big stories that only igve small rewards. I love reading a good story regardless of the reward but Mikey's point is valid. Look for Michael Cahill's Profile he is after all also a bro in the Lord mate.
    Thanks for the review God Bless.

Ha ha, good stuff, Sankey. Yeah, I read his post on reviewing poetry vs. prose too, and he does make some very good points.

I think he'll really like this one!

    Hi Dean yes he does. Thanks for the great review. I really do agree Tom needs to take some of this on board as although I don't mind reading a story if it is of interest to me regardless of rewards it would bode well for the scoring system to be re-worked so that more reviewing work is rewarded comensurably if there is such a word.
reply by Dean Kuch on 03-Aug-2014
    I agree with you 100%, Sankey. I can write a story, promote it to i.25, and I am lucky if I get nine reviews in two days time. I can write a poem, promote it to the same level and receive 50+. So, where is the incentive to write stories, other than to move up in the rankings? The is none.

    Prose is far more difficult to write, I feel. I can write poetry all day long.

I like this, it really flows smoothly and who wouldn't likey Mikey? He's a kindred spirit on so many levels, a truly kind, gentle soul.

I must say miss his long stories now that he's totally focused on his poetry group

lol. I loved this Limerick! It's witty, sharp and crisp, and you have the flection which is hard to do in a Limerick, and few do right.

I almost laughed out loud when I read:

And Mikey's are best here

By Krikey!


Yes, many of us have suggestions for improvement of this site - some have worded them, some haven't.

Very, very good, very very funny. I'm sure Mikey will be honored to read this, Goeff.

As a matter of fact I'm going to his portfolio and see if he still has the article there, by Krikey!

    Hi mate I only just read it again this morning. I too agree that it is not fair to get the same amount of reviewing points for a small poem as for reading and reviewing a large essay or book chapter. I would be prepared to pay more for a better spread of the rewards. I don't mind reading stories if they are of interest to me even if the reward is poor. But as the saying goes "You get more flies with honey" ha! Thanks for the great review much appreciated another verse is coming.

    Trouble is, I can't find "Mikey" in the members.

What a cute poem and funny as well. There's always room for improvement no matter where we go. But this little poem points out the appreciation you have for Mikey. And Fanstory. Thanks for sharing.

Good flow. Good rhyming. I think it could have been a little more complex than what it was. I think you meant it to be quirky.
