Well done and a fun read. I was just poking around, found the poem and read it. Got a chuckle and that made my day. Have to keen an eye on you.

love it! Anything spaghetti should be registered with the pasta police as life threatening. What sadistic Italian came up with spaghetti? My main is served a la tee shirt. After penne I am in all sorts of trouble. Love the first line. Cheers - DJ

    Penne runs away. It's like little caterpillars scuttling around the bowl.

    Yes indeed, what sadistic Italian thought up spaghetti? Cutting it in half does nothing, using a spoon does little, and it don't matter how wide you open your gob, it still hangs off your chin lol.

    Pasta police...ha hahaha, good one! I wonder how they'd go catching it and cuffing it...

    Thanks for a fun review! It's funnier than my 20 worder lol!

Apparently you've eaten spaghetti with my daughter. This is a very cute take on a very common problem. Good job of managing to fit in three "in" rhymes in only 20 words. The internal rhyme works well. The wording "served a la chin" definitely made me smile - with recognition, unfortunately. Good luck in the contest.

    Thanks my friend! I stopped trying to be neat eating spaghetti a long time ago. We sit with tea-towels under our chins to prevent loss of meat sauce due to tongues not being long enough to lick it all off lol!

    Thanks for the good luck wishes as well xoxoxoxox

    Good luck always, my friend.

    If I'm in a restaurant, I'll put a napkin on my lap. If I'm home, I just let the chips - or sauces - fall where they may. I just try not to be wearing light colored clothing at the time.

    Yes, black is best. And a bib lol!

    I tend to have my pasta with tomato sauce, so I opt for something in the orange or red family. Of course, orange on black makes for a great Halloween outfit.

    Red on black makes for a great murder outfit lol!

    I hear there's been a spate of unsolved murders in your area. Know anything about that Ms Messy Spaghetti Eater, hmmm? Lol

This 20 word write is fun and creatively presented with an excellent picture to go with and bring a smile. It may be messy but it is sure a favorite to many!

Charming and so witty--a la chin earns your stars in itself. Spot on depiction of the universal spaghetti struggle--my friend cuts his but that makes it harder! Cheers. LIZ

    Thanks Liz, we also cut ours and I think I agree that it makes it harder! I've even made the meat sauce and served up spiral pasta...but it ain't the same!

I've tried using the spoon to spin the fork against. It never works. Just when you think you've got it the damn thing starts unspinning. Yes, it's the messiest.
Good one!
