Comment from LynnetteOK

Excellent

This poem does a great job of taking something serious (kidnapping) and making it humorous. I really like the twist at the end. It was quite creative and a lot of fun to read. Well done!
Best of luck to you in the contest,

Excellent

Ok, this is absolutely comical. A comedy of errors, or something like that, LOL. The flow, the content, the rhyme, and simple presentation made this a fun, serious, read. It's hard to take some of these entries serious, lol. They're more dumb luck then anything. You've penned a strong contender here. I found no errors to note. Good luck in the contest.

Excellent

This is a fun poem. It sounds great read aloud. The lines flow at a quick pace regarding its length, so that was no deterrent.

I enjoyed your story. Good job on the rhymes & keeping to the theme throughout. This reminds me of "The Ransom of Red Chief". Best wishes. Jan
