This is an interesting entry for the What A Mess writing prompt competition. A brick and body collision would certainly create a mess to be dealt with~a lot of extra work. I enjoyed reading about your messy dilemma.

This is so good. I love humour poems especially when they follow all the guidelines of good poetry like meter, syllable and rhyme and you've done all that here. Please keep writing and posting.

    Thank you so much . I saw the cartoon, flashed ( I Know) back to when it ran my life, and the poem kinda wrote itself.

I liked this poem about the consequence of losing one's temper and accidentally killing someone and then cleaning up the mess before the authorities discover it.

I love poems that have humor and gore. I also enjoyed the rhythm of your poem. I know I shouldn't, but my favorite line is: "So, he bled like he was trying to paint the entire kitchen floor."

    Thank you, I thought that was rather descriptive. It paints a clear picture does it not? I appreciate the read. Sorry, I can't sign my name.

You bring out such blood soaked visuals with your poem . The art work adds humor to this work, with out the cartoon this would be a very macabre work.

    The title harkening back to the Laurel and Hardy movies, and the menopause cartoon, I softened the bloody bits. Thanks for the read.

    I think you for the read and nice comments. That picture just cracked me up. I've lived through it. Menopause is not for sissies.

It's delightfully macabre. The picture was great, too. I loved some of the lines, such as the cowboy trick. The tempo flows perfectly. Honestly, I'm still laughing, but maybe I remember the joys of menopause. gayla
