I got a good laugh from this one. I looked at the cute picture, began reading, and knew I would enjoy this because it was about music. (I'm a former musician) "To the fans they are stars when they play their guitars." I was really into it by the time I got to these lines. Then, Pow! You caught me by surprise. Very funny.

Excellent entry for the Laughter writing prompt contest. Your poem is very funny and it made me laugh so you followed the rules of the contest well.
Noisy kitties are the worse. LoL
Good luck in the contest.

Oh goodness, the music must come out the wrong way. These singing cats make the most of it when they play their guitars. What wonderful music if you can play the strings.

Thanks for your time spent reviewing my contest offering. You've given me the new experience of getting a 1-star rating. Not only was the cat's singing painful, but my poem must've been as well.
-
oh goodness, I had given you a five star.

I'd hoped it was a finger-slip!
If you ever feel like amending a review or rating, if you go into your profile and scroll down the menu at left you'll come to 'comments' from where you can access your review and make the amendment. I've had to do that a couple of times when people either improve their poem or I have made a mistake myself.
-
It had showed that I gave you a five star....so I have no idea how that happened.

The system must have gremlins. A similar thing happened to me once when i wrote a glowing maximum 5-star report of a tourism venture for internet site Tripadvisor and it came up as a 1-star review. I got a snarky email from the tourist venture, but luckily I was able to remove my review and start again. It worked better that time.

Hello :) I enjoyed reading this.
Your limerick is in good form and good humour and it made me laugh - prompt requirement met! Love the bluntness of the last line :)
Good luck in the voting booth, Debra

Short and sweet but how can anyone critique something so short in the 150 characters, and so I won't but thanks for the laughter this ditty provided me.

Well, that's the challenge of creative writing isn't it?
Thanks for your review, and good luck with writing more than 150 characters. (That's not supposed to sound sarcastic... I think the insistence on a 150 character minimum is stupid.)

This limerick, The Singing Critic, has the general formatting and tells a cute tale of the dad who cannot abide with what passes for music. The humor is obvious here. Nice.

Sweet and simple and very funny. Dad has good taste. The limerick is a great vehicle for writing good short comedic pieces. This works so well. Good luck in the contest.

It is clear why your dad has gone to buy some ear plugs for he wishes to really criticise the cats playing guitars, though the cats are proud of acting best players, your dad knows, still; well said, well done; post more. ALCREATOR LITT DEAR (D R)

Thanks for reviewing.
Not all forms of music are appreciated by listeners.

Hello Mystery Writer!
Hah! Well-executed!
I'd trade the two bloodhounds across the street from us, coupled with the two little yappers next store, for cats any day! I swear that a leaf blows across the road and those four "yahoos" break out in a cacophony of howling misery!
Best Wishes!
