This was certainly a wonderful and well written poem full of humor and originality. I loved the picture and hope it meets with the site's rules.

'The Great Escaper Caper' is an extremely well-written and entertaining piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review.

Wow what a beat this has. The rhyme and rhythm is incredible. I enjoyed it the first time around but after reading the author notes and re reading, appreciated it even more. Good luck should be a strong contender.

Hilarious. Loved reading this.
Clever rhyming and great rhythm.
Enjoyed the references to the Great Escape.
From what I hear goats don't ever
give up. Good luck with them and the contest.

Aren't people silly for using expressions like "dumb animals"? How often do they challenge our abilities and
just plain outsmart us? This is excellent. I'd like to give a 6, but I'm all out. I LOVE the meter in this poem.

This is excellent. I enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately I never have enough six star ratings. The rhyming scheme is very good, and the poem is most amusing. Love the photograph. Great job!

Both Maya and Lucy, houdinis or genies, so dire grass eaters never bother to read or concern the message on the blackboard or the master, a blind state featured, good sense of humour retained, nice flow, story I liked. 4/502
