Fun and totally true! You nailed the concept here and the photo is the perfect pairing. Great job. The little 'adult church' surprise at the end really sealed the deal for me. You're a natural!

A nicely written poem for this contest. The humor is in the fact that the lemonade got spiked at a church picnic. I'm sure it never happened in the Baptist church I grew up in. Because if it had, it would have led to dancing...and you know what happens next! Good job. Terry.

The author's words are engaging, descriptive and creative. The author's presentation of this poem is awesome. I like the color scheme and
script writing in addition to the artwork which is awesome! These words
were fun to read and made me laugh especially when I read the last stanza! Great Poem!

Who spiked the lemonade is right! I've ever actually never had a drink of alcohol, but I have seen what it it can do to others, especially when consumed in large punch-like porpotions. Hopefully, everyone got home okay.

Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes in The Drink contest.
Sally Law :)) xo

    Hi Sally! Thanks so much for reading this silly spiked punch poem. Sometimes it is fun to do crazy and silly ones to steer away from those serious ones all the time.
    Thanks for your awesome comments and having a little fun with me.

Very funny! I think this will do well. Mine was slightly more serious. We shall see! Great rhyme and rhythm to add to the jaunty style of your poem. Well done and good luck!

    Oh thank you so very much. This was one of those prompts that could go either way as far as how it is received. I decided to have fun with it and not be serious and yet I am not a drinker and have bad addictive problems in our family. So I took the chance to take it lightly and in return it has come back with two that didn't see it as funny.
    I appreciate your kind review so very much!

    Oh thank you so much Roy. I am so happy for those who knew that this scenario was so far fetched fiction, that it was used for only humor. Thanks so much for your fun comments. That means the world to me, my dear friend.

Hi
This is a well rhymed and metered poem about getting drunk when you don't know you are really drinking. Who would spike lemonade at a church picnic. Picnic usually means around lunch time which is a little to early for drinking. But since you say it is an adult picnic, this may be a dinnertime thing. The poem does show how silly adults get when drunk.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day.
Joan

I didn't know where this was going, but it was clear that the drinker was rookie. It then looked like an experimentation. Then you came up with a church picnic. Great idea.

This was cute. But it was hard to think how much more bubbly you could get on alcohol. You know my mind goes to strange places! Here's where my mystery/crime mind went.

Debi drank some odd beverage
It was tasty and was sweet
They spiked it for leverage
Hoping for a good strong tweet

She felt without pain it's great
So she drank another glass.
She did not become their bait
So, it never came to pass

    Oh Karen, this is so sweet, just like you. I think when your mind goes to strange places, that's what makes a great writer. You are not only that but also very sweet and kind, Thank you for the thoughtful and cute ideas for my poem.

    I will see if you are who I think you are after the contest. I have been busy returning reviews. I try to give one for one.With the exception of "I really don't belong here" which is almost 9000 words. I gave 7 reads for that one. It was only fair. But a tiny poen is the same to me as a 1,000 word story because we still have to write 150 characters. Don't you think that is fair? Karen
