I am thrilled that I brought some laughter into your day and lifted your spirits and mine as well. Sharing laughter is a wonderful thing.
Have a great day and thank you for reading and enjoying my humorous poem. signed: the gnome
Comment from Katie Mae Dead
Great entry for the prompt. Funny but not funny, but funny. If someone took my tp, it wouldn't be funny unless I had a bidet.
Nice use of the 5-7-5 form. The syllable count is right, you got in some rhyming and it is definitely humorous.
Good work and good luck mystery poet!

Thank you so much for your kindness. I believe I would be just like you if I discovered the Charmin gone...Those who take the last of it must learn to put it back. LOL Smiles to you and have a nice day!
Comment from Patty Palmer
LOL That picture will get attention to your poem for sure. It's cute and I love the remark about the Charmin. Keep your toushy dry by letting the wind blowing by! Great job!

Dear Mystery Naughty Gnome,
I pulled this post up just as my two grandkids were walking by - they got a laugh. *smile*
I think it's a cute and unusual piece - which usually do well here. But - the last line has too many syllables by one. Perhaps you could leave off the 'oops'?
Here are some notes from Google:
--> How many syllables in derriere? 3 syllables
--> Divide derriere into syllables: der-ri-ere
Thanks and good luck!

So interesting....syllablecounter.net says 5-7-5 and syllablecounter.com says 5-7-6 .... didn't know counters would be different on something so simple. I dropped the oops! and the syllable counter too! Oops!
Have a great day!

Yeah. A lot of time those places will conflict. BUT if you can point to a place that SAYS your word is a certain number of syllables - add that info to your author's notes and the judges will usually allow it to go through. Did that make sense?

Oh dear, not again. Good thing the little gnome was home. A fresh and fun 5-7-5 short verse for the contest. I wish you all the best, mystery poet.
Blessings always,
Sally ;))

Comment from Beejay
I loved this.. on first glance I tried not to count out the syllables...I know.. it's so tempting to do..but just those three lines gave me a very vivid picture in just a few lines...so clever and simple, free of any poetic trickery.
Well done and good luck.

Oops! derriere is bare 5
I used a syllable checker because I am not a poet, nor understand most of it. LOL I certainly thank you for your comments and for taking the time to read my silliness. Hope I made you chuckle!
Have a great day!
Comment from Debbie Pope
I love the humor here. These gnome statues are perfect fodder for humor poems. Quick though, before lots of people tell you this. The last line has 6 syllables. I like the internal rhyme of derriere and bare. I guess you will have to take off the oops.
Good luck.

Thanks for your kindness especially since I will never profess to being a poet.... I did put it in the syllable count and came up with 5. I wonder if it depends on who is saying derriere? Appreciate the help though.
Smiles, Carol

The syllable count website says 3. I'd go with it like it is and see what the monitoring committee says. They always give you time to fix it in these contests.

Oh gosh... am I using the wrong site. One would think they would be the same. thank you...
-
I agree. There should be a universal site. With my southern accent, I'm not good at determining syllable count. Take the word "fire." I can't say it as one syllable, but it is just one. I always use syllablecount.com.

Thanks! have a great day!
