I love a witty poem! Something that makes me smile...say "Ah, Clever!"--
so many ways to approach the topic "This is serious"...and how very very clever to take the theme and turn it upside down! I hope you win...you got my vote!--Karenina

I loved that idea with this contest! Take the sting out of the seriousness with humor. I couldn't resist. I appreciate that you thought my entry was amusing. Thank you, Karenina! That means the world to me.

It is the sign of high intellect to appreciate irony and think outside the box! Great job!--Karenina
Comment from Chip Kuzborski
Very clever, well played! Perhaps a jab at Big Pharma as well? Can't imagine a more suitable entry for this contest, wondering if there is anything autobiographical here, whether as victim or...well, let's just say victim. Great job, good luck in the contest!

Well, it depends on how many votes I manage to steal from generous reviewers!
Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
I'm sure the kleptomaniacs would find solace, is that the right word?, in solving their problems by stealing something. We chose to write while they chose to steal I guess

Yes! We all have our outlets, right?!!
I love this review. Thanks.
Comment from Ja Majal
This is an absolute gem, and witty if I've ever seen. It is short and fun, and if its you you'd ought to run! I loved the ending too, the icing on the cake if you will!
Needless to say you have completed the prompt by turning theft into humor.

Wasn't that the cutests of ideas for a contest, btw? Take the sting out of something serious by making it something amusing! I couldn't resist having a go at it.
I appreciate your review so much, Jamal. Thank you for being specific about what you liked; that way I know what 'connected' with someone who's a good reviewer.

One is judged through their intents promoted desires realities be illustrated disclosing actual feelings against the existing ruling existence. Good luck with that stated in my opinion.

Comment from Yvon
Kleptomania is a nasty disease but I think your photo depicts plain theft. I could be wrong but i think Kleptomania is more like putting on a sweater in a store and walking away with it. Nice last line.

I'm pretty sure kleptomania is stealing, and there are many, many forms of it. Thanks for the review.

I know it's stealing. I thought the photo showed pick pocketing. Could be kleptomania. Had no issues with the stars I gave. The image to me is secondary.

Thanks.
Comment from A. Willow Bends
Quite cute! This small bit does take a serious subject and end with humor and all done in 4 lines that rhyme! THAT is creativity at its best! Great picture choice also. I would personally think you will do well with this in the contest. If not, you should! :) Oftentimes, less is more and you crammed it ALL in this short bit. Great job and Good Luck!

Comment from Gypsymooncat
Hahaha, very clever "take" on kleptomania lol! It's a great thing to be able to take a serious topic and make it humorous, and I did smile widely at your last line! I hope your poem does well in the contest, if not, be a winner because it won me today. Good luck!

Comment from tfawcus
This is a delightful use of wordplay to turn a serious condition into a laughing matter. You have a strong contender here and I should be surprised if it doesn't reward you with a few members' cents.

Comment from Bichon
You have done a great job at using the contest prompt and translating it well in the poem. Stealing is never nice, but you have changed it successfully to a different light,

Thank you very much, Bichon. It was such a fun premise for a contest, I thought: making light of something serious!
