Comment from Rama Rao

Exceptional

R O F L.
Your chuckle-a-line poem moved smoothly, as you know what when it is in action. Your poem provided a great relief at this site burdened with poems of spirituality and love- broken or cemented. You proved any subject can make good poetry, and your choice of the subject is great and merits special prize.
You say you are well endowed. Better apply to the Guinness book of records. You knew it danged and why did you bend and hurt the family jewels. Tut, tut: better be careful next time for if they are damaged life can be miserable.
Lastly one small doubt. But now we need some anatomy. Precisely, how did this occur when you were flicking the water off "The back of legs from arse to knee."
Should I enroll in a class of anatomy?
I ENJOYED READING THIS POEM AND AM STILL LAUGHING.

Thanks for the kind words and the 6 stars - this was a fun poem to write and has made many people laugh! You're right, I am much more careful these days. As for well-endowed, we are all entitled to some poetic licence, right?!
You are right about the spiritual and love poems - I can only take so much before I'm reaching for the 'Skip' button

I'm trying not to laugh so loud as I don't want folks to think I'm gone looney, but what a poem! It is hilarious, and I hope you took out insurance on the family jewels. You could file a claim stating you were injured and cannot perform the job, causing friction at home. Your wife will back that it's true. lol. You told this story in the poem very nicely with humour and the rhyming flow is great.

This is a wonderful story told in rhyme. It is hilariously funny, and defies the reader to stop reading. I loved the exaggerated explanations of your trauma!

No doubt, this was a humorous tale. One can easily see the action within as it takes place, and hear the painful wait. Yes - the jewels must always be protected.

You have good rhythm and rhyme and draw the reader into your poem from the very first line-you take me on a journey with your shower and finally when the incident occurrs where you whining and needing help your wife comes and there is more laughter--you got to take care of the family jewels--great job and Best Wishes in the contest.

Not funny not funny at all, lol. I did enjoy reading your poem. It was very creative, well thought out and enjoyable to read. You have shown that poetry does not have to be deep, sad or profound to be considered great. Thanks for sharing.

Funny, funny, funny--in a very tall tale sort of way. The extension of the poetry just added to the rising tension and then the full exaggeration.

What a great sense of humor you have!
