I'm liking that word, "insinuendo". This is a word I could use at some point in time. I'm wondering who we should stay away from? it's going to bug me all day now. I was hoping to read more about Will Robinson lol!

LOL Joy. There is no one - it's a "made up" baddie :)
Comment from frierajac
This is a good poem in common measure which is very English you know. There is a lady on this site who writes these everyday. It goes to show that language creates the brain which then reacts on culture. Nice expression for the word.

Thanks for the kind review. I'd say this is the form my brain immediately goes to when contemplating a new poem, but I like to mix them up. I'd guess somewhere around 20-25% of my poems are in this meter. Cheers, Craig

LOL there's no one to watch out for - completely fictitious :) Thank so much, Barb.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem and a warning about a certain person that are around with insinuating remarks about others that can make everyone else look bad against them

Hi Sandra, yes, but it's a fictitious person :) Thanks! Craig
Comment from BeasPeas
A descriptive combination of insinuation and innuendo. There are those people who CAN skillfully deliver such a barb and we may not even realize it at the time. Great job. I see that your Christmas gift has given you many new interesting words to write about. Marilyn

Thanks very much, Marilyn. Yes, it's certain broadened my vocabulary, though I'm not sure how many I'll be throwing about in everyday conversation. Cheers, Craig.
Comment from rama devi
Fine post with a clear message, smooth flow and fine rhyming. The rhymes are outstanding in the last two stanzas! I love the coined word insinuendo! Fine smattering of alliteration, etc.
Just two spag typos to note, pertaining to capitalization:
Let's make it clear and bring this to
I(i)t's ultimate crescendo--
'cause don't you just detest all this
I(i)nsane insinuendo?

Hi RD, thanks so much for the great review. Yes, somehow I messed up several things in that last paragraph. It was getting late by then, maybe I'll use that as my excuse lol
All the best, Craig

Comment from Gloria ....
Great good fun, Craig with a new word that is most rhythmic indeed. It's so annoying when people pretend they aren't gossiping and spreading stories if they use innuendo or insinuendo rather than just saying it. Doesn't matter, it's still gossip. innuendo, insinuendo or otherwise. Excellent metre and rhyme and a most entertaining write.

Craig, This is a well written poem you have penned with great descriptive words and very good imagery from your words. I remember the Will Robinson words from Lost in Space! I used to watch that to when I was younger! Great job my friend! Blessings, Teri

Thanks so much Teri, for the very lovely review. I used to watch it as a kid, and now I have every episode on a DVD. It's fun to look back at "special effects" in the 1960s :) All the best, Craig

Haha, the "baddie" in this poem is totally fictitious, Meia - just an excuse to spread some insinuendo :) Cheers, Craig

Thanks for picking that up, GMG. It's funny, I actually do know when it is and is not appropriate to use those things, but when typing, nine times out of ten, I'll type it wrong, and have to go back to correct :)
