Hilarious! At first, by the title, I was prepared for a serious rhyme but it turns out that this is over the top silly and funny. Well told in excellent versification!

Dear Mystery Poet,

I loved this! It was so much fun and definitely seemed to be of the 'Shaggy Dog' variety! I'll be pulling for you in the voting!

The only thing is-- that the contest seems to call for 'stories' and this is quite obviously a poem. Do you think they'll hold that against you? Just in case, you better be thinking of a prose form of this story. *smile*

Good luck!

    Hi Robyn,

    I have to admit I was confused when I read the instructions and they mentioned nothing about poems. However, it is called the "Shaggy Dog POETRY Contest", so if I get DQed for that, I'll be mad lol. I'm assuming it's a "story in a poem" type thing. Anyways, we'll see :) Thanks so much for the wonderful review, and the lovely shiny stars !

This is a great write here you have done with this story! The silly humor part of the 'Shaggy Dog' prompt is perfect! A delightfully fun read! The end rhymes work well and add to the flow! Great job and good luck in the contest! Blessings, AmyJo

This is a beautifully written poem. However, it made me think of a sad event. An event that happened about two years ago, a church attacked by a gunman, and many people losing their lives. I liked the usage of these words, "a pert little lass." Thank you for making me learn new vocabulary while reading your poem.

Someone unidentifiable whose face rang a bell; the rules of ringing the bell is somewhat funny; there is none specific; for special occasion the bell is rung; conventional reality, a tragedy is well said; I liked.

A really cleaver poem that made me laugh. Your photo was appropriate and you rhymed your poem beautifully. Something that I have missing lately.
Best of luck.

Ahahaha, you got me on this one. I love it.

I was fully engaged from beginning to end. I could clearly see Hope in the rope and the boy who didn't know his ding from his dong. I have a feeling, though, I'll be thinking about the armless man all the time I should be sleeping. I prefer laughter keeping me up to worries, though.

Excellent rhythm and cadence. No slips at all.
