This is quite amusing! I actually clicked on your name instead of the message, without thinking, in the automated "Six Star" private message I received because of your wonderful review! And so I landed on your page, and I think this may be the post you were looking for, when you discovered mine! I am very far behind in replying to reviews for that post.
At first, when reading this, I was trying to make sense of it, and only when I reached the last few lines, did I realize that it's not supposed to! Then I read the writing prompt also, and everything fell into place. This is a very clever nonsense poem.
Your presentation is also excellent, and I especially like the illustration.
It's wonderful to meet you, too, a sister in Christ!

Mary, how very kind of you to read one of mine. I didn't expect that, but I am delighted that you did. How very kind of you! I truly appreciate the gracious gift of six stars as well.I have a feeling we will become good friends. It is always so nice to meet another sister in Christ! Thanks again my friend.

Thank you so much Teri! I love that you liked my silly backwards poem and I love more when it makes someone smile, because I sure get one in return. Thanks again my dear friend!
Comment from dragonpoet
This is a witty group of obvious lies about a crime in this nonsense poem. Maybe the crime didn't even happen?
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Thank so much Joan. I know that my backwards humor that I used in this poem isn't for everyone, but I sure appreciate you reading and reviewing my stupid poem. Thanks again my dear friend!

This poem, Stupid Is as Stupid Does, tells an odd story which makes the reader believe that the narrator is rather unreliable.......................................

Hahaha! Bill, believe it or not, this review is going into my folder named
'Best Reviews Ever.' However since you may not believe me, I promise you I might have to prove that to you someday. It really made me laugh! Thank you my friend!
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the Funny Nonsense Poem writing prompt Contest.
It's so funny, not your tipical cops and thieves.
You grasped the form well. Nice presentation. Your descriptive words flow well expressing clear mental imagery.
Good luck in the contest.

I thank you Gypsy for such a delightful review and comments. You have no idea how much they mean to me. I know this is truly stupid, but as Tom Hanks says in, 'Forest Gump,' Stupid is as Stupid does. Lol! Thanks again my friend.
Comment from nomi338
This poem is so crazy that it makes perfect sense. We see and know things we do not realize we know. We sense things we cannot explain. We cannot name the sensation but we recognize it when ever we feel it. We may not remember the first time we experience a thing but when it happens again we immediately sat aha, Deja vu!

Oh so true Nomi, someday I will write a story about this. But I was given the same gift as my grandfather, to feel when something is wrong and even fight.to have someone listen to you. I have saved the life of my daughter once and daughter in-law twice. And my grandson once. It is such a blessed gift from God! However my silly poem was really stupid and.perfect nonsense. Lol! But I know what you mean that sometimes our minds can truly work.like you said. ......Thanks for the.awesome comments my friend! Much appreciated!

You are welcome. It can be frightening. I believe that many people resist this gift because they are afraid of its power, and they do not want to be singled out as being gifted.

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
You have done a great job with the prompt, and what a fun one it is.
I like the creative approach, and the humor peppered throughout.
I appreciate the presentation, the cartoon is a perfect choice.
The rhymes work well without force and create a pleasant timbre.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Wendy G
Very clever with the juxtaposition of so many irreconcilable opposites. It made for an entertaining nonsense poem. Sending best wishes for your entry.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
What I read is a wanna-be-me writing as I often write. Doesn't make it wrong; nor right. Yet, I have an excuse. I have an idling mind that I find hard to addle. Good luck.

I take that as a compliment. Thank you.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Pure nonsense, all right. Good work.
'been following him yet' is a bit of a stretch of rhyming, but otherwise, works very well.
I'm sticking to this story; - a period would work better, especially since you capitalized Please.
Best wishes.

Hey Wayne, have you ever had a piece that you struggled with, but kept dissecting until it starts to work? I just came back from changing a few words but always love your feedback. Thank you. Any little bit of improvement adds up to a better piece. Thanks so much my dear friend as I sure appreciate your kind words too.
