Very good. Your poem rhymes throughout This is an excellent contest entry and will do well in the voting booth. Good luck. I hope you win, but keep in mind that contests on FanStory are difficult to win.

Wonderful lipogram! You did a great job and omitted all the 'a' possibilities and I like your humorous poem better than the original rhyme! Best wishes in the contest!
Some suggestions:
"up lovers hill " (lovers')
"in jills poor soul " (jill's)
"by jills report " (jill's)

very, very funny! I applaud the fact that I read this without an accompanying illustration (well, I am among your fan base)

what I liked especially:
jock
your rhymes are spot on
... poor soul
reversing line

would suggest an apostrophe for jills (sic) you did for jock's

jock is likely 'n 'sshole, but you did not 'cknowledge th't in your verse. LOL

I liked your Scottish version of Jack and Jill! I'm inclined to give you an 'A' for it, but five stars will have to suffice, I'm afraid. Poor old Jock seems to have had the noblest of intentions: to fill the hole/in jills poor soul.
How sad that he fell short of expectations.
I think you shoud either remove the apostrophe in the last line, or put apostrophes in jill's (twice) and lovers'.
A clever and entertaining poem for the contest.

This is funny! I enjoyed reading it. Simple presentation seems to fit and doesn't take away from what you write. I wish you the best in the contest. Well done!
Blessings, Cathy
