Congratulations on your contest win. I'm sorely behind on voting for contests, but had to comment on this alphabet verse. Your write is humorous, cynical, exaggerated, and riddled with nuggets of truth. Very well done. I laughed out loud about the "dude" comment you made to another reviewer.

Contest winner, huh? My,my. There are many youthful types who hold your words to be their credo. like the kid who stomped the 65 year old woman to death. couldn't see any use for her.

Thanks.
Hopefully there are more who see the words for what they are a bit of fun exaggerating some of the baser habits of the younger generation.

dude you held strong right to the very end here. That is not easy to do. You have created a line and rhyme for each letter and you have done it well. Bravo !

Comment from Muffins
A fascinating blend of good and bad advice, arrogance and vulnerability- perfect list of living life to the fullest ,or at least knowing the consequences that come with it.
There were lines that made me cringe, laugh, and shake my head in disbelief. I suspect you'll receive many interesting review with this one. In the end this was a satisfying and fun read.

Thank you, Muffins.
As long as nobody suspects I am actually advocating any of this stuff.

Comment from Louise Michelle
What a fabulous and fun read this was! I enjoyed the entire poem, but two of my favorite lines are:
Just remember rehab's costly and your friends can't call around and Role models should be young and rich, of dubious propriety. Definitely worthy of a sixer. Hugs, Lou

Comment from Kashif Ali Abbas
Words take on new meaning with every hour that passes.
X-Ray vision's obsolete now you have Google Glasses.
Youth is all important; middle-age a concept dirty;
Zero tolerance applies to all who're over thirty.
My pick ...I liked the energy and the over all tune, diction is good artwork supports well and overall a very nice poem

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
This is extremely well written. You give an awful view of modern living - and frighteningly so much of it true. You've missed out some of the good things in life but there's no denying you have accomplished a good poem and I don't think for a minute you live by this creed. Good Luck in the contest. In my opinion you will take some beating. Regards Dorothy

Thanks, Dorothy.
Exaggerated of course, but scary all the same.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Bravo! Very clever, even rhymes! Topical as well, with a great message for young readers... a chance to see themselves for the losers they are if they fit this mold. I see you are winning by quite a bit.... no surprise! :)
