Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a clever write with all the trademarks in red and today's word is anepronym. I liked the 'Limerick' style verses which gave the poem bounce, love Dolly x

Funny ! Great rhyming and great choice of words. It is fun to just be silly every now and then use the odd words to make it happen. I like the story too. I love Dr. Seuss and silly sense of humor too. Sherman541

Thanks very much for the great review :) Humour is something we all need a great deal of at the moment, I think. Cheers, Craig

You are so welcome! Yes, we sure do humor is something that does not seem to come often. Cheers to you !!
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Goood job using those brandname words. I like how you made every other line have an internal rhyme, as if you had two shorter lines instead of one long one.
"Why such a big issue?"
She reached for a tissue,
her Kleenex all crumpled and soggy;
"You're making my head spin,
I need to take Aspirin,
my thinking's all muddled and foggy".
This is obviously more work, and it's worth it. :)

Thanks for the great review. One of my favourite poets (The Banjo) used this form a bit, as did Robert Service (though I think he probably pinched it from The Banjo). I like it a lot, and yes, I don't think there's any difference if it's written the way you've given :)
Cheers,
Craig
