Comment from Cindy McIntyre

Excellent

Oh my goodness. This is a crazy challenge. I LOVE that you truly were about to tell a story with that batch of words! I am in awe of your written outcome. You know, sometimes a billy goat may just do a better job than humans...the political climate around the world is a bit nutty these days. Well-written. I enjoyed! I wish you luck in the contest.

Hi Cindy I gained a third place so that was a bonus. Many Thanks for your great review so much appreciated. It was a rather interesting set of words but we seemed to come up with some pretty good poems Cheers Christine

Excellent

I'm glad I didn't enter this contest after having read your entry. It's excellent, very funny and you used all the words in a very understandable way. It made complete sense, which is hard to do with a hard prompt like this one. Best of luck to you.

Hi Dolly, Thanks for your review These words were challenging and my little attempt was based on the tuth We seem to have so many people in parliament who act like goats why not give them one to be in charge LOL Cheers

Comment from Rickie1

Good

HA! HA! HA! I loved this. A goat replacing asses can't be any worse. I don't this is limited to Parliament. We have our fair share of asses in our government as well.

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy

Exceptional

Hi,
I really enjoyed the humour in this one.
As an Australian I can really relate to your words.
The image is perfect and the words are focused with a comic undertone.
Good luck in the contest.
Blessings
Shirley

Oh Shirley, How you have made my day I was a little hesitant after an average review and was not sure if this would be received favourably so your review has given me courage to prompte it further. Yes our Aussie politicians can surely need a goat to lead them Ha Ha. May be better than the ones we seem to have now. What a joke no wonder people are turning away in droves in disgust and it keep on going Pleeeeeease! Many thanks to you Cheers

Holy Toledo! I think you've fulfilled all the rules of that weird contest. 13 lines, 76 words, and a joke besides. I figured whoever had invented the contest had a poem waiting in the wings. But you did it. Well done! Good luck in the contest.

Hi Adri7enne. Thank you so much for reading my attempt at this challenge it was an interesting one to try and come up with the requirements but I am pleased you thought it so Many Thanks Cheers

Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear

Average

This speaks a nice story telling a joke, and states how a he-goat is going to address the assembly in parliament, no kidding, everyone is surprised; well said, but the joke is in 72 words only instead of 76 words required for fulfilling the requirement of the writing contest. Keep writing - DR ALCREATOR
