Laughed out loud. Literally.

Funny, great 5-7-5.

If a peanut is injured, does the five second rule still apply? I doubt medical science can help, but maybe you know?

LOL - well, this is certainly clever wordplay, although I am awfully afraid I might be the perpetrator... nothing like high protein and good fibre. Even better when it's a salted peanut. LOL. Good luck.

Thank you so much for your great review. Mistake sorry.

reply by Dawn Munro on 12-Dec-2017

Oh, dear, why the question mark? The fact that I laughed - twice - and rated as I did must assure you I liked it...? (LOL = laugh out loud)

You're welcome. :)

A very well-written fun 5-7-5 poem. A peanut found on the ground was not eaten by a human but laying on the ground where every one steps on him and become very badly injured.

Hahahahaha!
Oh yeah, this is very good.
Good use of double entendre, a perfect syllable count, and it's actually quite funny too.
You made me laugh and that's good enough for me.
You've got my vote...

This is a fantastic metaphoric poem I read.
A soldier lying wounded injured on the ground, following an assault.
I liked and enjoyed the visual word imagery.

Poor peanut! A very clever way to say an awful lot in such a short poem! It is delightful, and very funny. I would now like to hear how you NUT OUT your future verses?
