I'm afraid I am a purple Llama. Oh well. Thanks so much Roy. Rox

Well done
Comment from Michele Harber
OMG, I love, love, love your sense of humor and your imagination. A purple llama banished from Egyptian FanStory? I don't know where you come up with these, but I'm so glad you do come up with them because you certainly make me laugh.
There are just two edits I want to point out - and I promise they have nothing to do with punctuation, meter or any of those other nasty things your purple llama's publisher cares nothing about.
- You said "to cried her eyes out" when you meant either "to cry her eyes out" or "she cried her eyes out."
- "Mirth" is spelled with an "i," not an "e."
Otherwise, this poem was loads of fun to read! By the way, if you ever do want to know the difference between when to use a comma and when to use a semicolon, I actually can explain.

Thank you. I did mean to fix 'mirth' and forgot. I am a very purple Llama who also spells badly. I'm glad I have such caring people to point out all my flaws. =} I need much help. Glad you liked it and I made you laugh. I have always had an over-active imagination. =}
-
So did David Berkowitz (Son of Sam). At least you use your overactive imagination for good, not evil.
-
Really? I have something in common with a serial killer? Cool.
-
Whereas I have much more in common with a cereal killer. Raisin Bran and Special K don't stand a chance against me.
-
My favorite is Rice Krispies. I turn them into serial treats. HAHA. =}
-
So do I. I even do a chocolate-filled version.
-
I make mind frosted with melted choc chips and peanut butter. Yum! I'm a choc & PB nut. PB M&M's and Reeses are heaven! They even have a sugar free version of Reeses and it is so good.
-
I'm not a peanut butter person myself, but you'd have my husband eating out of your hand - literally!
-
As long as he doesn't leave spit behind.
-
I'll talk to him about it.
Comment from Diana L Crawford
I love this! I was not very knowledgeable about punctuation through my high school years. It seemed I just didn't get it. But then I had an English teacher in college that turned that light on for me! I don't know what it was about her, but all the sudden I started to get it! Funny how one person can teach in just the right way where others could not or maybe I wasn't ready to understand until then! I really appreciated reading this and can identify with that struggle :). Also, I see that you note you have published a book of poems. I was wondering if you could share with me what publisher you went through, and how I might be able to pursue publishing one of my own. I would greatly appreciate any advise or information you could share! Thank you very much!

I need to meet that teacher. =] Thanks so much dear and for the 6 stars. I'm very honored.

LOL! Well, I'm 62 now and she was probably 25 years older than me, so who knows if she still roams this earth :)
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a fun write and our knuckles are severely rapped over the punctuation if we get it wrong and on here there is always someone who can help, but not using it at, in my opinion, is the worst crime because it leaves words to their own devices instead of owning them and nurturing them. Here, Roxanna, you used punctuation perfectly and you amused me with your story! Love Dolly x

Thanks so much. I am very much a purple Llama. My tiny brain can't seem to learn! The saying I wanted to use for the picture part said, "A person who doesn't use punctuation should get the longest sentence." I couldn't get it to load. Thanks again. Rox
Comment from JudyE
Llamas also spit a very vile-smelling liquid! I enjoyed this so much and I really do feel for you. And I'm sorry to say this - but 'merth' should be 'mirth'. I hope one day you do laugh all the way to the bank. Wouldn't that be great? :)

It would be great to laugh all the way to the bank. I kind of do now, but it's because there's no money in it. Yes, I meant to fix 'mirth' and forgot. People are so crazy about Llamas now days, but they do spit and are kind of ugly. =} Thank you so much, Judy. rox
