Comment from Dawn Munro
One can only hope he is 'on his last legs'!I take it this is not a nursery rhyme for children (unless it's HIS children)...LOL. Thank you, though, for not only voicing my opinion of the man, but for teaching me a new word, and reminding me of a form I quite love!

Thank you very much Dawn. I don't know if he is on his last legs. After each new fiasco I ask myself "how can he not be?", and then nothing happens :-/

Oh, I hear that!

Hi Craig. What a great word this one is "Proditomania" I think I know people like this lol. I love the ones where you stretch yourself to give your readership a new thrill. Well done. xoxo Kiwi

That's a tough word to remember ... "proditomania". Your nursery rhyme is cute and fun. If I think of Humpty Dumpty and your version of this nursery rhyme, I might just be able to remember this new word that is a mouthful.
Well written and presented. "Let's have a party and throw scrambled eggs" made me laugh. Another excellent addition to your book, Craig. I'm enjoying learning these new words. ~~ Connie

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a great write and I love your new word! You are getting lots of inspiration from your new book, I want it! I loved your poem and I am wondering if you have a hidden meaning about a certain person in this poem who may even get in for another term? Love Dolly x

Well, I'd say "not in a million years", but if the events of a bit over a year ago tell us anything, it's NEVER make predictions! But no, of course I wasn't referring to anyone in particular ;-) Thanks for the lovely review, Dolly.
Comment from Joy Graham
Hee hee, this is fun. I enjoyed the Humpy Dumpty part. What a word for a spelling nightmare. I'd be shaking in my boots to have that word given to me in a spelling bee. Yikes! Yours is the second Trump theme I have read today. It's the third one of the week. He's entertaining if anything.

Yes, what would poets, journalists and, of course, stand up comics, do without him? Thanks for the lovely review, Joy.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about Proditomaniacs. I know a few people like that. The funny thing is they are most of the time distrusting the loyal ones and trusting the traitors.

I believe that could quite well be true, Sandra. Thanks for reviewing, and for the kind comments. Craig

Hey, Craig
Read through this poem.
Things I thought... ha, self fulfilling endings... if someone pisses everyone off into wanting to turn them into scrambled eggs, its no wonder they feel the need for walls. The walls that would best suite though would probably circle round to be no larger than a room.
Nice choice of form for this one. Nursery Rhyme with a darker tone
I saw the line up top of blue numbers. Phew... I'm so behind, I don't know how many poems I've missed and want to read. This will make it easier for me to click through and check.

I don't think there's too many you've missed. And if you have missed any, don't feel as if you "have" to go back :)
It's a bit hard not only on the person who has to try and come up with a poem every day, but also on those who try and keep up with reviewing them when someone takes on a task such as this. It's making me wonder if it was a good idea. Perhaps I should do the write, but just not post every day?
Thanks for the kind review :)

Yeah, I'm a slow reviewer on a good day.
Comment from Gloria ....
Craig, I am pleased to see you are making a book from these wonderful poems. And how perfectly Proditomaniac fits in with the Humpty verse. Perhaps I am suffering from it myself as I see your protagonist as so evil he'd destroy the world to salvage his worthless ego. I wouldn't even eat scrambled eggs made from any part of that Humpty. Ahem, anyway a great job with this! If we don't survive his crash it's been great knowing you. Looking forward to tomorrow's word. :)

Hi Gloria,
I figured it would be easier to keep track of them that way. Shouldn't be difficult to keep track of the reviews though - one review from eight views so far. That's pretty piss-poor, even by my standards lol
Many thanks for being my (so far) sole reviewer :)
Craig
