This kangaroo court script is hilarious. I laughed all the way through. There were so many clever words, thoughts, phrases and double meanings, like DC for divorce court. You really demonstrated your creativity on this one. My verdict? The husband is not guilty, since he has shown his wife loving support over many years. Plus, these court proceedings could win the contest. Best wishes.

    Thanks so much Lorraine. Hahaha! This court case and complaints were all fiction, but non-fiction was my husband hating poetry and doing the shopping and helps with the cooking and dishes. I purposely wrote this to show the good guy he is, gave him the better attorney and made him look good. Lol, even in a vote, the writer still can control the outcome.. in my authors notes it also tells how I hate his whiny country music but still married almost fifty years. And we help each other as it is a marriage of give and take. Thanks again

Okay, so you had me laughing! Satire fiction "loosely based on...well...your dear husband!" (Where else do we pull our fiction ideas from if not life, itself?)

Your Kangaroo Court was hysterical...but I have to say, "the husband" would be found not guilty by this gal.

I'm a FIRM believer in all couples having, nurturing, and pursuing their own separate interests.

Nobody, but nobody in my family enjoys writing (or attempting to write in my case) as I do...and that's fine with me. Know what irks them even more? ME---saying "listen to this one!" (I get the passive-aggressive hand in the air telling me to STOP!)

Then again, I don't especially care for many of their pursuits.

The "space" we all give one another to do our own thing and create our family and friend circle out of like-minded individuals is by FAR more encouraging and I feel zero guilt.

It's fine to joke about it...(he sounds like a prize, by the way, pulling his weight with household duties)--

All in all, I'd say I'm glad you had fun writing this...but DON'T throw any "books" at him at all...

Your fans will give you all the support you need while he listens to his "whiny" country music...

LOL.

Is this a real life experience? If so, let me say, my spouse may feel similarly; however she's never says anything mean, just replies when asked what she thinks, "it's good.' Makes me feel as if I am kissing a sister.

This contest entry is adorable. I completely understand. My husband and my boys loved camping. My version of camping it a Holidome with room service. LOl I find the husband not guilty. a married couple can have difference interests. Thank you for sharing and good luck.

We have heard the husband's lawyer tell how how much his client loathes (one 'how' is enough)

The DA sits down next to her client (DA sits beside her client)

Do you really think that this case is that important? (omit 'that')

I could use the shopping cook and dishwasher. Can I assume that he does housework too?" (shopping, cook, and dishwasher & omit 'that')

    Hi Barb, Hahaha! First of all thank you for all the great feedback. I hope to catch more of these myself after I have my eyes done in June, but always appreciate it dear friend.

This is hilarious, Debi! I love it. The introduction is really clever, wickedly funny, and applicable to the real Kangaroo Court of our times. Oh my, it's a circus out there. Anyway, this is fun and has a little bit of truth in it... maybe? As long as you can tease in good fun it's all good. Jack can't stand Shakes, so there you go. He looks at me and asks, "What did he just say?"

I reply, "That he loves her...."

My husband is a simple guy. He loves my writing, thank God. It must be understandable.

Sending you my very best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming vote.

What a cute story about the likes and dislikes of a household, husband and wife. I agree with you that many hubbies probably complain when their wives spends lots of time writing.

Do you like classic country?

I'm not a fan of country music but my husband listens to Punk rock. Not a fan. He does like my writing. He let's me write, I let him listen to his noise, er, music of choice. 50/50. That's what a good marriage should be. This was a fun script. Now, the readers need to know what happens in D.C?

    LOL, does that fall under the category of enquiring minds want to know. Sorry the only truth to the whole thing is that my husband really does hate poetry and I really do hate old country. And he thinks that it is hilarious that I used this for my story, because even tho he hates it, he still supports it. .... and now back to you... Punk Rock, no thank you, and I am right there with you dear friend, give and take in the marriage is what it is all about. Lol, I didn't get thru 5o years with this man, to throw it away because of a poetry issue. Love your fun review sweet friend. And love that I learned a little more about my friend Gretchen!!! Hugs!!

I feel I must vote for the husband in this case. The primary reason is that the female DA has a hidden agenda. She wants to swap her husband for the poet's husband for nefarious reasons...cooking, cleaning, shopping, and the like. In return, the poet would get the DA's husband, who offers a little appreciation.

That kind of swap might be okay for a weekend, but it is not a good deal going forward.

Debi, your humor is excellent, and your notes are also very fun. Well done. Terry.

Debi, this Kangaroo Court had me laughing all the way. There are so many amusing aspects to it - love the punning with KFC. I fully sympathise with the wife whose husband will not be her sounding board and greatest
admirer. I've had one of each and certainly know which I prefer! JLx
