This is an excellent story in a poem, it fairly zings along with an energy and definition purpose to both entertain and amaze the reader. I love the tongue in cheek theme about the whole work. You might have bumped into my Uncle and Aunt, they competed in dancing in North England, well done, blessings Roy

Rabble in arms, this interesting twisted story in a poem, goes a wavy taletelling of an ode to grendy frump, about his living in connection with an American victory in the Battle of Saratoga took place in October 1777, and truly tells about him a girl and her state of living in true perspective; I think I could not understand how and why this twist come; well said, well done; post more.

Good

Historical? I haven't a clue, but I enjoyed the joust I experienced as you laid your words down, a gauntlet to transverse. Go Navy. Beat Army. Tip of my hat for your service.

Yo Sir Tom......Thanks so very much....God Bless the US Navy...I owe my life to Navy pilots....as a tiny footnote...my table head at New Mexico Military was a Navy legacy...he made us memorize the names and hometowns of the pilots of Torpedo 8 off the Hornet at Midway....he went on to Annapolis and I commissioned Infantry!...I am old now...but with a couple of belts of whiskey ....I can probably name them all.....Godspeed Vet Brother.....Air/Cav Airborne.....Stu Harrell

This is a funny poem about a deceptive female who fools everyone around her. It reminds me of the movie 'Mulan'. She deserves to have a toast said in honor of her. I think she could handle a baudy song, if she can handle traveling with soldiers and hearing their language.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
