Hello, brother Mike,

HAHAHA ... I was hoping you forgot about the roast but I guess you're just wwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy slower than the average fanstorian. That happens to dudes over 80-years-old. Right, Mikey?

Not too bad for a white boy. You think my profile picture is ugly? Do you? That is not me, that is my beautiful sister. Just wait until you see my real face. I will make a point to come by your house tonight and wait until all the lights in your house are out. You say ghoulish? You ain't seen nothing yet, pretty boy. If you were not my brother, I would turn you into an Irish writer.

I still love you.

Gypsy

You hate the name, Mikey? Aww, it's a term of affection, Michael! LOL. you really had me going with this one, my friend, (that's the safest name!!) I thought you were REALLY having a go and something awful had happened and you were leaving us!!! But, of course you wouldn't do that, because everyone REALLY loves you. Well, I think your entry into the Roast Week contest is going to stir things up, and I reckon you have a winner here!! Good luck, my friend. :))) xsx Sandra

This is a very entertaining poem, Michael. I enjoyed reading it very much, even more so because I have also read Gypsy's roast.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Lots of satirical fun, my friend. I chuckled a bunch. I did not mind the lack of punctuation, either--flowed well. Fun write. Fanstorians will find it highly entertaining (and relevant)


Love this original metaphor:

these damn people convinced me
I am chips, a full bag,
maybe more ...


FUN metaphor here too:

I'm caviar seeking some curls
(you see, I can write, yep, I'm slick)

Lots of fun reference to well known members here. Hee hee. Especially love this clever rhyme:

well, how 'bout some witches or ghouls
I guess I must sacrifice looks
but they've saved their spleens and their brains
for Dean Kuch


One spag:


but they(THEN) like the Grinch
crusty Domino toppled my game

*
wondrous ME
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Did you mean WHEEEEE?

LOL:
She says I'm her brother
so, the wolfman's our mother?
no wonder I howl when I pee


Clever:

those who talk about me behind my back
talk to those who talk to me too
This stanza is fine:

I thought I was surely
the host with the most
the wonderful man all would toast
reality sucks
I once thought I was grand
but, I'm the poor fool I must roast


but I think it woudl be stronger if broken up with line breaks.

Example:

I thought I was surely
the host with the most
the wonderful man all would toast

reality sucks

I once thought I was grand
but, I'm the poor fool I must roast


I thought you liked, Mikey!~ But I am happy to call you Mike, dear brother.
This was entertaining. Thanks.

Love, rd

I don't know enough about the writers on fanstory not to open my mouth (or keyboard) and put my foot in it. However I recognize a few names and this sounds like a pretty good roas to me.

This rating does not count towards story rating or author rank.
The highest and the lowest rating are not included in calculations.
