lol, I actually know someone who is 41 and a virgin... ;)
(not me, of course) Hell, I've been trying to tell that girl what she's missing! lol
This made me smile... It's the tomato juice that kills me... just pass me the other juice and some celery. ;)

    Thank you, cat! Now I know someone who actually READ the poem! Shamefully, FS reviewers largely have the resolve and motivation of civil servants, working only for a paycheck, confident that there is no penalty for irresponsibility.

    Here's a representative review of "Bloody Mary":

    "I love it! Perfect syllable count as you remember the good old days.
    Bloody Mary's are one of my favorite drinks and it has less calories than most drinks so....win-win!"

    Aggh!

I love this humorous poem. How true it is! Very well done and shows creativity. Picture puts the finishing touch to the poem. I would have given a 6 star rating, but I'm out.

That is why unicorns are extinct they could only sleep with their heads in a virgin's lap, but they had the same problem as you so the poor animals just died of fatigue.

    I didn't know that. Here I thought it a 21st century phenomenon!

Ha, ha. I assume this is written in jest ;-)

An amusing little piece that taps into society's obsession with alcohol and sex. Two hobbyhorses for the price of just seventeen syllables. That's packing a punch!

Good luck with the competition :-)

    Yes, good assumption, Alex. A belated thank you for a piece that hardly anyone else noticed. (And that I'm happy to have in my short-form portfolio.) Thank you!

This is delightful! I like the humor of the poem and the illustration, of course, is perfect. Seems you have met the requirements for the contest. Good luck.

    Thank you so much, Cynthia! I waited until the contest was over so I could sign my reply. I think this piece didn't get any votes but mine, so your discernment is all the more appreciated!

    Don,
    Gee,I am sorry.I looked back at the voting booth but couldn't find this contest listed. I guess it has gone off the board. In any case, this was a very good entry- humor was excellent. Sometimes we get so busy we don't always check the voting booth every day. We need to be more aware so that we can support the things we really do appreciate. Nice work.

    I'm sorry, Cynthia. I should have mentioned that you posted the review two weeks ago. When I get one i want to take a minute to answer, I often skip my reply, intending to revisit it later. Yours was one of the few written by someone who actually read the poem. Most reviewers only review for pay, and it's obvious they're faking. For example, one who assumed the poem was really about bloody Marys, wrote about how much she liked them, and about their low calorie count.

    So, there is no reason for you to apologize.

A lot of hidden meaning in this short and sweet poem. Well written obsession. I like the reference to the drink. Very well written.
