This was a lot of fun to read. I love the word choice
doonybrook, schnook, etc. It tells a little story about
a cad who try to make a fool out someone and got his desert.The last line was good and it something I would have thought you would say.

Thank you so much for saying such a wonderful thing! I am loving FS - people here are just too kind and encouraging. This morning I woke up to read an acrostic poem Kentucky Sweet Pea has written about me, and I cried. :-) About a bzillion years ago my now-deceased ex-husband wrote me poems, but that was sooooo long ago - to have a friend write one just blew me away. And that is what people here have become, friends :-) Thank you again!

You are welcome...and it is wonderful to see you doing so well so quickly. You deserve all the praise that you get...and you are an avid reviewer as well....
take care my friend

Comment from texyankeefan
I have never seen so many "weird" words in one place before (and I use the word "weird" in a good way. I love words and you have great finesse with them.
diddly squat
brouhaha
bumptious (I don't even know what this means)
higgledy-piggledy
skedaddled
clodhopper
This is a clever story, told well, with good rhyme that is easy to read and that flows nicely. The interesting words are a bonus for me. I think I will run higgledy-piggledy down the hall to get some lunch.
Great job.
Linda
ps, I'm sure you know that very few of these words made it through the spell checker....its not as colorful as you are, I guess.

bumptious - offensively self-assertive, pushy - yes, the spell checker is not programmed for many of these, but you will find them in the Oxford Dictionary! :-) I am so very glad you enjoy the weird, which i consider a very complimentary word! Thanks for a fantastic review!

Oh my gosh, I am bumptious and didn't know it!

I am now laughing hysterically!
Comment from lathunder
I loved it. I thought the whole this was catchy, and funny. I'm glad he got what he deserved. I loved the ending.
So what did Jake the trickster do
when he found himself embattled?
Turned tail toward the nearest door
and through it he skedaddled!

Hey, if I can provide a laugh just when someone needs one, I've done all I ever needed to do with my writing! Thanks for sharing this. :-)
Comment from Kristile1
All I found myself doing while reading was laughing.
All to familiar for me I think. Your words are filled with humor. Your play on them is pure perfection for this piece.
I sit here and this story reminds me of something I witness just about every night. I bartend. So many a nights I wanted to capture it all and place it on a keyboard for others to enjoy the humor of it as well. But you have done it for me.
I will enjoy going back and reading this over and over again.
And I respect and very much agree with the statement "poetry should be more about passion than rules" Thank you for thinking this for so many do not!!!

Praise from a bartender about my bar poem - that is great. I've never actually been in a bar - have walked past restaurant bars, and that's about it. I just see them in movies and TV, so it's nice to have an inside view that says I got it right! Thank you one more time for another kind review.
