Comment from Gloria ....
Ha, this is a terrific work of art you have cobbled together with your art program. Now National Sarcastic Awareness Month is something that is definitely needed as sarcasm is just too darn often misinterpreted.
And yes an excellent 8 line poem it is, and I love your use of exaggeration in this satirical piece.
Wishing you all great luck with the voters. :)

From the tone and style of this (and your skill with picture manipulation) I know who wrote this - I applaud your caustic comments that always make me chuckle. You definitely have turned them into an art.

Thank you for the great review, Lisa. Yeah, when I'm in one of those moods, I'm pretty easy to spot. Lol. I'm glad you liked this silliness and had a little chuckle.
Comment from Janice Canerdy
This poem really resonates with me because I tend to be sarcastic. I have used sarcasm effectively, when it was justifiable--and when it wasn't called for and I ended up apologizing! Your poem is very creatively and skillfully written.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a cleverly rhymed poem with superb meter and fun subject as we put forward our poetry efforts for the contest and expose our talent to the crowd. A good choice of words and a delight to read, love Dolly x

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about sarcasm that can come across rude at times especially when we don't know the person well. Sometimes we need to be like that to get rid of people who make a nuisance of themselves.
