Comment from Gloria ....

Excellent

Now THAT is the proper word for an overall feeling of having consumed too much of the chow or drink. Crapulence. Here on my initial I thought for sure you were being mostly highly creative. :)

Super job and you are well-served to be done with this book on a daily basis as it seems to have far too many overeating and overdrinking words.

Excellent metre and a most entertaining poem.

You picked up on that too, huh? I've put on 20 kilos, just writing food and alcohol poems.

Thanks so much, Gloria :)

Cheers,
Craig

Hi Craig, I liked this bit of poetic fun in excellent tetrameter, although I could not place the form (if there is one). Either way, you've given me a good chuckle and smirk at all the holiday cheer, and for that I thank you. Happy holidays to you!

I'm not sure if it's got a name, Pam. Just stanzas of 4/4/5 syllables, in AAB rhymes. Thanks for the fun review, I'm glad it gave you a laugh :) Happy holidays to you as well! Cheers, Craig

So be a dear, and fetch a cup
of tea, I need to sober up--
and while you're at it, lose that silly grin!

Yes, you described exactly how someone drunk would feel and do. It is so sad when you watch a dear human being lose his confidence and starts drinking.
I just pray little by little we can see a normal human being. Terry

I must have some imagination, as I've managed to make it all of 57 years without once getting drunk. I guess I still have something to look forward to in retirement :) Many thanks, Craig

Hi, Craig,

Read through this poem this morning,

Dear me! Excuse my flatulence;
(This set of the poem, nice rhymes and flow... early establishes the enjambment, along with the silly theme/ tone. A toot from the bottom is better than a spout from the top tho. I wish some of my family's loosing decocorm after too much food and drink had been along those lines.)

I'm only grateful that I didn't pee
(Ha... something that I've said a time or two myself)

and while you're at it, lose that silly grin!
(this poem reminds me of a time when someone, won't name any names, got stymied by a baby gate to the bathroom, dropped pants and drunkedly peed on the floor while everyone laughed hard enough to almost pee themselves too. Ah... good times.)

Haha. I can't think who that might be, Turtle. Guess I'll have to die wondering ;-)

Thanks for the laughs, and thanks for the great review. Also although this is the first review you wrote in this "batch", it's the last one I'm responding to, so I just want to say again how much I really appreciate the way you went above and beyond to review all these. Please don't ever feel bad if lack of time means you can't review. I know how much you have on your plate, and I don't expect you to feel you need to "catch up" some time down the track. At the same time, I'm so grateful you did :)

Have a great recovery from Christmas, and enjoy your New Year. I hope that nameless person doesn't overdo it and stain your good carpet again! ;-)

Cheers,
Craig

It's such a lofty word for feeling so low. I would have liked to rhyme with opulence instead. Thankful we avoided crapulence but the grand cat experienced some flatulence after indulging in food meant for his humans.

You did a great job with your poem for this word, Craig. I take no offense. You expressed your thoughts/feeling well. The picture is perfect. Overindulgence of drink could cause exactly what you wrote. Good job and thanks for sharing. Jan

I laughed for the first time in weeks...thank you! Your sense of humor is delightful, even if the subject can be serious and troublesome. When you sober up - read this note and know you made a grumpy, Christmas over-satiated old lady grin. (Will try to wipe it off.)

Good job on this humorous poem CD. I like the bad taste warning. Sometimes things aren't to pretty the next day after a Christmas party. I don't drink anymore but I still like to eat. With all the holiday dishes I ate from yesterday and today, I've offended several people I'm sure! Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for the great comments. I'm not much of a drinker myself, and never to the point of it causing digestive issues. I think "poetic licence" sounds better than "lie", so I'll claim that. Most grateful, Craig

Well that's what a load indulgence does for you over Christmas! Messes with our insides! Your poem made me smile and you introduced a new word! What this invented by the Aussies? Love Dolly x

It should have been invented by Aussies, Dolly, but I suspect not. It first appeared in print in 1727, so if it was, it would have needed to be aborigines (there were no white people here until 1788)! Thanks for the fun comments. Craig
