Poor Glen Allen :( what a horrible predicament. Your poem flows well. It draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

Thank you for stopping by, Gypsy. Your review is much appreciated.
Comment from LJbutterfly
Wow! This is a very creative story/poem about gluttony, one of the seven deadly sins. It is skillfully composed with a rhyming pattern that is smooth, consistent and easy to read, not to mention humorous. Well done. Best wishes in the contest.

Dear Mystery Author,
THANK YOU! I had gone through the whole list of Deadly Sins contest entries, save one. I was becoming quite depressed. Don't tell anyone else, but I was quite depressed about the choices!
THEN - I opened the page to your entry. HUZZAH! The picture was a doozy. The whole presentation was delightful. Now way, I thought to myself, that the poem can match THIS beginning. But it DID! It was funny and so tongue-in-cheek (or was that chicken-in-cheek? I get confused).
The rhymes were clever and unexpected and the whole thing shared a very funny but real warning. We certainly do not want to end up like this. Oh, my - and his poor MOM!
hahahaha There was a lot to enjoy and smile about here. THANK YOU! And thus, you have my vote.

Comment from Aussie
I don't know the glutton you are writing about. Definitely not in modern day from the cracks in the painting. A very different subject matter you have written about. I like that you found something new. Reminds me of King Henry V111 he was the worst kind of pig. Thanks for sharing. Weightwatchers would be thrilled! Hee, Hee.

I think a guy like Glen lives perpetually. He does remind one of Henry VIII. Many thanks for your review.
Comment from karenina
Oh! This is RICH! I laughed out loud...then read it out loud and it was funnier still! Just the perfectly honed bit of edgy satire and flat out wit to make me cringe, remembering some of those Thanksgivings when...
Well, I will spare you the gluttonous details! This has GOT to be a contender! Dear mystery writer... Great Job!

I am so pleased my poem made you laugh out loud at you enjoyed my dark humor. Many thanks for sharing.

While I have felt really "darkly humorous" after helplessly overconsuming my unfair share of a Thanksgiving feast... the reading of this allowed me to reflect, repent, and then guffaw!--Karenina

The old boy would be better off weighing in on weight watchers. LOL. Poor guy, but I have seen people like this or close be. Thanks for sharing. My best to you.

I doubt Glen ever considered dieting. Many thanks for sharing my poem, Ben.
Comment from Erika Seshadri
hahahaha, oh my goodness. This has me laughing so hard, and I love that there's a photo so we can see Glen Allen in all his gluttony.
This part cracked me up:
Came way too big and early too,
then sucked her dry 'til she was dead.
His poor, poor mama, lol.

You have chosen one of the most common of deadly sins these days. All one has to do to see it is look around. This is an excellent entry for the Deadly Sins contest.
