Hi, Buddy, well this isn't to much horror, unless the Mayor has a head of a beast showing because of a shortage at the jeans button factory. ( that is a old sayin' for your zippers down)

Nope, it's not horrifying at all. Not unless you're standing in front of a crowded room full of people with your schlong hangin' out. It's scary enough to you when you realize it. But it's absolutely terrifying to all of the 60 and 70 something ladies seated in the front row!
Yanks for the great review...heh, oops. I mean "Thanks"
Comment from Titanx9
The rhyming is unique and fascinating with its fluidity and evenness. It's a compelling poem with a hilarious message. The poor major thinking himself the pariah was ready to flip off the whole town. Thanks for a delightful and creative read!

Comment from Npenny
Hysterical! And so clever. A lot of time was spent on this, i imagine, turning story into rhyme. What a fun poem, and a really good work! I gave you high stars for imaginative verse, ability to paint a story in a poem, and excellent word choice.
Good job!

Thank you for this witty and very comical poem. I am sorry I am out of sixes, but 6 sixes would not do for this poem. Thank you I learned a lot today.

You are a grand poet my friend. Every poet that ever lived always could have gotten better.
Comment from J. Dark
This is brilliant, Dean. I love the AAAB rhyme scheme which is an unusual one, but one I favour myself on occasion. Your rhythm and flow are awesome,but best of all this is genuinely funny. So much humour poetry fails to actually be funny but you have hit the nail on the head. I appreciated the chuckle this gave me.
Kindest of regards,
Julie :-)

There is no greater compliment to a writer than to be told his or her writing has elicited a genuine belly-laugh or two from them. Unless of course they had not intended the writing to be funny. That would be on the rather devastating side, LOL!
Thanks for such a wonderful review, and thanks first and foremost for giving The Mayors' Stroll a shot to begin with. I appreciate it!
Comment from NHazelwood
I enjoyed your poem so much I giggled! Poor Mr Mayor! I especially like the story element of this poem how each line took you through the streets and the reactions from other characters!
Thanks for sharing!

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE! SUPERBLY CRAFTED, WITH EVERY LAST LINE IN RHYME. I HAD THE FEELING THAT "YOKEN" WAS A CLUTCH AT A RHYME (IS IT A REAL TOWN SOMEWHERE?) FELT HOBOKEN
WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE FAMILIAR TO FOLKS. NO MATTER, THE SURPRISE ENDING WAS GREAT -- AND NOT UNREALISTIC EXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME IN A A LONDON SPEECH ATTENDED BY 800 TELECOM PEOPLE. I COULD USUALLY CAPTURE AN AUDIENCE IN 5 MINUTES BUT THE BRITS WERE STIRRING, WHISPERING TO EACH OTHER.AT HALF TIME, THE DIRGEN TOLD ME MY FLY WAS OPEN.
ZIPPERED UP, OPENED THE SECOND HALF, JOKING THAT IT WAS A PURPOSEFUL PLOY TO SEE IF THEY WERE PAYING ATTENTION. THEY ALL LAUGHED, GAVE ME A HEARTY ROUND OF APPLAUSE -- AND WE GOT THE BIZ CONTRACT. IN HUMOR'S DOMAIN TAKE A PEEK AT MY
"TALE OF A SKUNK THAT DID NOT STINK". A CONTEST WINNDER, THE RULE WAS THAT EVERY END-LINE NEEDED AN IDENTICAL
SOUNDING RHYME. I CHOSE "UNK", inventing the new word "thunk". Bravo on your poem, am looking at others, maybe a new fan. john

Thank you John. I appreciate that glowing review
Ah, so you can relate to this story huh? Unfortunately, so can I, and on more than one occasion. But I won't go there right now.
I will definitely be sure to check out your tale of a skunk. I'd love to win a contest on FanStory one day. There are so many talented writers here.
Thanks so much once again, for everything. I look forward to reading your work.

Hi, I had a really great time reading your poem, read it twice. It was so creative, amusing, the imagery great.
Descriptions were good, each line very well articulated and the rhythm absolutely great.
Loved it!
