Haha, you liked the...Thanks; thanks; and thank you. Haha, you liked the 'a-making', eh? I can thank YOU for that because I was going to write in 'just making' instead, but then I realized that if I did that, I'd have 2 'justs' in the same verse, and you taught me a while back that repeated words within the same verse is usually a no-no. See, Professor? I learned a lot from you!<br /><br />No, I haven't won a blue ribbon yet, but I did get 3 HMs in 3 consecutive contests. It's not easy picking winners these days because there are some very good ones that don't even get chosen because there would just be too many winners. So I do it for fun, and the odd time I get to banter back and forth with one of the other poets. That's the best part. I think another reason I don't win is I'm not that great at doing clever puns; no true ability to weave a story in a subtle (quick! pat my back!) sneaky way until the perfect double-meaning punchline is revealed at the end. My handicap is, being too f%!@?$#! straightforward. The being silly part either saves me or destroys me. It can go either way.Suzanne Heymannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02925149630654987978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179119864914364117.post-81712504495394046242016-07-05T11:19:14.309-05:002016-07-05T11:19:14.309-05:00Cute triple, Suz.

I like how "a-making" yields solid meter without need of a one-beat rest.<br /><br />I also applaud your once again getting a triple-rhyme on L3&4 by putting 'automobile' in the middle of L5.<br /><br />It appears that you work at our craft a helluva lot harder than I do. You are really getting good! Have you won a blue-ribbon from Mad Kane yet?The Limericisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295894333491128936noreply@blogger.com
