adewpearl, this one is also very well-written and humourous, with your usual funny words in abundance. I think it is a subtle sattire focusing on certain silly human behaviours such as playing tricks and cheating others. KUDOS

I am so glad you enjoy my poems and the satiric element in them, which is a level deeper than some people see, so it is wonderful when that level is acknowledged! Thank you!
Comment from Margaret Snowdon
This is so clever, Brooke,
light-hearted and fun, with
a smooth flow. A story in
a poem - such a pleasure to
review.
Keep them coming - laughter is such a tonic.
Regards,
Margaret

Comment from Lady & Louis
Adewpearl, I've finally stopped by to read one of your poems, and it's a delight. (I'd say "pearler" but that might be just too painful a pun.) I happened to be reading some reviews last night and saw one of yours, and that, on top of your reviews of my own work, made me think "I must really check out her work!"
It's a delight to see all this slang worked into a coherent, and funny, tale. Diddly squat is one of my favourite expressions - I use it a lot, generally in reference to our general manager. Jake's tale is a real pleasure to read, and there's nary a bump in the rhythm, nor typo to be seen. Thank you for posting!
Cheers,
LL

I know all these words that you use in your great poetry, but dont think I could write and include them if my life depended on it! Great job with this one. I'm a fan.
God bless,

That is OK - I couldn't write many of those short poems that require such economy of words if my life depended on it! :-) Just too gabby. Thanks ever so much for a most kind review. :-)
