Conveys a powerful, but humorous message about the problems attached to disability. Nice rhyming techniques, choice of words and is well written. Faye

Thanks Faye appreciate the wonderful review. Hope you can find time to look at my other stuff this is my first attempt at a competition. Might add this to my book later as well.
Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is a nice tribute to your wife. I am glad that her mobility problems are a thing of the past. It must be nice for her to whizz about in the electric wheelchair instead of struggling with crutches.

Hey! I like this. What a great spirit it has. Jovial and full speed ahead. Very uplifting really. Nothing getting anyone down. Great pick of your young bride there!! Well done. You should try to set aside a little time for more poetry. With your song writing your pieces have that nice rhythm to them. mikey

Thanks friend. Not sure it will qualify in the ABAB realm but I don't care.
Comment from Carol Adele
Nice rhythmic poem with a humorous tone. Most of the rhyme is good, but the 3rd line of the 2nd stanza doesn't rhyme: chair and as. I don't have any suggestions though. It's a fun poem.

Hi Carol I don't care really. the skeleton of the poem has been around for years. Thanks for dropping by.

Hi Carol not sure if I have broken the rules but I changed the first and second lines of verse 2.

I think editing is acceptable. Ii have done it as well when someone suggests something better or points out a problem. Good luck.

Yeah well I appreciate it Tom said it was ok to do. Already had doine it anyway and thanks for the 'heads up'

What a lovely picture you paint and you make it so real. However it would pay you to examine the rhyme in view of the ABAB rules. Hope this is helpful and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Erika Martin
Nice ABAB poem, worthy of reading again. It gives disability an air of joviality. I love the power wheelchair image. I can see it "sneaking down the hall."
Nice work.

Thanks Erika for your lovely review. Not sure it qualifies for the competition but I don't care. The house was in the process of renovation you can see some open woodwork as the door where she is sitting was being transformed into a sliding door. We lost our third bedroom around to the right as you look as we added an Ensuite for Louise. Thanks again.
