This was delightful. I see the potential for a children's book. I liked that the ape got into show business. Seemed very appropriate. Lol. I thoroughly enjoyed this fun story in a poem. Gretchen

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
This is a good entry to the Tricky Rhyme contest. It's the best I have read thus far. The text size is great. The rhyme scheme makes sense and is funny in some lines. This word is misspelled~bizzaar. It should be bizarre. This phrase~these drive before~would sound better written /them driven before. You have a good entry. Good luck in the contest.

Greetings...
Excellent work. Well done. Your mono-rhyme is impressive for such a long poem and your iambic hexameter is flawless. Your theme is strong and clear and your content is laser-focused and flows nicely at comfortable pace. Technically, this is quality writing. Kudos to you.
The story was fun as well, with nothing sacrificed on the altar of technical excellence. Given the confines of the contest prompt and the title of your poem, I didn't expect to like it... but I did.
Congratulations. This poem should do quite well in the contest. Keep up the great work!
Blessings...

What a fun poem, and I cannot make out if has a grain of truth in it or not. But, your wonderful tale in a poem is perfect in that it hits all the requirements and makes sense too. Great job!!

Yikes. Sometimes these contests rules make me laugh before I even get to the submissions! I mean, really? How can one not have fun and be silly with "Pickle, Sausage, Orange, Scrooge, and Doodle.?" The photo is just whipped cream and a cherry on the sundae!
This is fun. Good silly fun.
Just what the doctor ordered!

This poem is a delight and is fun to read. All of the required words are used, and all of the rhyming flows smoothly and does not feel forced. The story line is compelling, and the artwork is perfect. Best wishes in the contest. This is a definite contender.

What fun! Excellent job at incorporating some highly eclectic words into your story poem. Very imaginative. I would very much like to see Crabby Scrooge play the sitar.

Comment from jessizero
I think "bizzaar" should be "bizarre"
Other than that, this poem was charming. I found myself rooting for the Czar. :) Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Thanks Jessi. The funny thing about that word bizarre, that is how I started out with it, but auto correct kept telling me it is wrong. So I googled it and they talked about how many different ways there are to spell it, yet never told the correct one. It was very bizarre. Sure now it is showing it's right . Lol!
So thank you for that awesome feedback, because it is working for me now. Also Sweetie, I thank you so much for such Kind comments about my poem. You are always so thoughtful and sweet.
