This is a very well-written poem about a subject your passionate about. That much is obvious, and brought out with eloquence.

Just so you know, practically no female swoons over him, though I'm pretty sure his money has gotten him female attention. haha.

Take care,
Rhonda

Yep, but $135,000 of his money couldn't keep it quiet lol

Thanks for reviewing, and for the kind comments.

Ha. Until I read the author's notes, I thought this was about that yam of a man-baby, the Don-John himself, covfefe-in-chief, asshat of the day every day, Grumpus.

Alas, now I've learned something. Hang it all, I was trying to avoid learning today.

"Don Cacafugo", is an exceptionally well-written and entertaining piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post. To me, this is a definite six!

I am very honoured - I don't think I've been reviewed by royalty before - and hailing from down by Kosciuszko's side, too :)

Thanks for the lovely, kind words, Duchess, as well as the wonderful shiny stars. I'm glad you enjoyed my poem.

In my opinion, the message is obvious in its narration - a well constructed presentation - smooth in rhyme and rhythm, and a fun read in its humorous bent...

What an apt word for the state of political piracy.
The Don is merely the stupidest of the lot
proud to be known as Don Cacafuego.
The others are even more dangerous, stealth caca.
I enjoyed your rolling pirate poem
Well done
RS

Attaboy, Craig! You got him square in his zorch this time,
with all that good research to taunt the dumb doubters -
especially the incomparable CACAFUEGO!
Keep up the good work!

Thanks very much, Don. I love that word, and judging by the reviews, I'm not the only one. It almost seems like it was invented for one purpose. Much appreciated - Craig

A very colorful poem about a very colorful character of the sea, who goes about his business doing whatever he please. I enjoyed it very much, in spite of the racist tones intertwined and you know what I mean. Tony

If there were any racial overtones, I apologise, there were certainly none intended. There is a bit of a swipe at bigotry, as in judging people because of their religion, but that is sarcastic, rather than being in agreement with such prejudice. I'm glad you enjoyed, thanks for reviewing :) Craig
