Debi,
TWENTY-ONE days ago, your friend and mine, Karenina sent me a note to say you needed help to boost this post to ATB. I only just saw it!!! hahaha That's a clue how far behind I am -- hahaha
BUT - the cool thing was that as I scrolled through your portfolio to find THIS ONE I saw so many other titles that intrigued me!! I gotta go check out some more, chick!
Thanks!

Robyn, you and Karenina are the same kind of beautiful people that make this place so wonderful. Thank you so much for doing that. I truly like the sillier poems, like this one. I am a bit of a rebel but sometimes I step on a few toes with these political ones. Not sure as that is worth it though as I don't mean to offend anyone here. Thank you again for being such a sweet and kind friend.
Comment from Ric Myworld
Yes, those turkeys amongst us show up everywhere. The white, dry meat. LOL. A guy like me who laughs out loud at his own demented humor, but it seems to be catching. :-) Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Erica! You are an Angel and I appreciate the very kind and fun review. Actually I do make that kind of turkey; but lol, not on the 4th of July! Thanks again so much!

I'll bring the brownies and we'll make it a potluck! Lol
Comment from evesayshi
In my opinion, simply perfect - verse and image - humorous, with just the right degree of sarcasm - in perfect compliance with the prompt. Best wishes in the contest with this 'sparkling' gem...

Lol, sorry about that Eve. I got so far behind that for the first time I had to do something l don't usually do and that was to use the same message that pertained to others. I was 50 reviews behind. Husband just got out of hospital and had to take him back tonight. I actually thought about not doing some, but that's not me either. Thanks for understanding!

I am so sorry to learn about your husband, Debi - you certainly have had more than your share of unfortunate circumstances, and my heart aches for you and yours. I recommend requesting your pastor and Christian brothers and sisters to pray with and for you. It will help and restore your strength. And now, to climb onto my soapbox for a minute, I would also recommend suspending FanStory activities for the present, because they appear overwhelming, and certainly should not be. It is unkind to devalue someone else's identity because of our own circumstances, and you are not the type of person who would do so consciously, not with your great heart and sensitive nature...Eve
Comment from Jesse James Doty
It would seem that the picture is more of a satire than a short poem. You would have to read into the daze haze part to find any humor. As for me, I don't find it humorous.
Thanks for your attempt at political satire.

Thanks Jesse! We all have our opinions and besides I always remember that you and I have agreed to disagree on many topics and never let it affect the friendship!

Yes, and that is a good goal!
Comment from LJbutterfly
This is so horrible I can't laugh at the obvious humor. It looks like a dog is on the Thanksgiving, Forth of July plater. (tears) As for the poem, it rhymes and is imaginative. Best wishes in the contest.

Thanks my friend for your kind review and comments, as I truly respect your views and meant no offense. You are so very kind regardless! Thank you again my friend!
Comment from Bill Schott
This 1-6-1 poem, Dazed and Confused, has the right set up and leads the readers to the conclusion that when the current president does well, we should be confused. Thank you, Fox "news" for confusing Americans.

Sorry Bill, but this wasn't meant to offend anyone. Least of all a good friend like you. Thank you my friend for reading and reviewing. As always I have utmost respect for you my dear friend!
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Your picture looks like Thanksgiving. If it is, then the last line is spot on. I am always in a haze after one of my wife's amazing Thanksgiving Day meals. Also, the man in the photo looks suspiciously like our current president.
Well done.

Thank you Gary! Remember that old saying, you can please some of the people most of the time, most of the people some of the time, but...etc....
But the days I can please my good friend, Gary I am a happy camper!
Actually I should know better than posting controversial poems, but it's like I can't help myself. I have so few negative opinions, but they usually all follow along with my faith. Thanks so much for your awesome comments and review my friend and for the generous gift of six stars!

There we go again; I had no idea this was one of yours. I just liked it. Now, is that Joe Biden's face superimposed on the person holding the turkey?
Comment from Sally Law
This is fun and fresh for this contest. I hate to say it, but our president is not present. It should be an interesting two more years. God be with us.
Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming vote,

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Good entry for the Rhyme That 1-6-1 writing prompt contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. The subject is disrespectful towards our president.
Good luck in the contest.

Gypsy, I apologize if I offended you in anyway, as that was not my intention, but just a little political humor, and free speech while it is still allowed in our country. But a lot of resentment for things I know to be true. I thank you for reading my post my friend!

No worries, we all have our own beliefs. I have the same fear, about losing our democratic way of life and right to vote.
You're welcome.
