Comment from Lilly Flowers
LOL - this was fun to read. Well, I'm sure the Cape missed all the tourist money they lost from the pandemic, so they have to take the good with the bad. I loved your funny notes - a perfect tough. Best regards, Lilly

Thank you! Good point re the lost revenue!
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
These holiday places take advantage of the tourists as the season is short and they need the income. We have many tourists on this island and it is busy just now, without the tourism people starve here, I enjoyed your descriptions and rhymes, love Dolly x

Comment from Susan Newell
Deniz,
This is a remarkably funny account of a truly tragic occurrence. It's like people who go "camping" in a motorhome. That used to mean pitching a tent, if you had one. I liked the line about green in your notes.

I don?t think you are correct about the exclamation points position. I seem to remember checking on it, since it?s crucial to the point I was making. (Trying to keep a straight face).

I was a big fan of James Kilpatrick's weekly column about writing and despite the fact that I was taught differently in school, he said, "Punctuation ALWAYS goes inside the quotation mark." In poetry there is a certain license. I understand your meaning now. I wonder if adding a comma inside the quotation mark would make it clear that the emphasis is yours, and not with the expression.
Comment from Judy Lawless
Cape Cod is a place I thought I wanted to see, but we never made it there during our travels across the US. Apparently we wouldn't have been welcome. lol You've said it all in this poem, Deniz. Well done. :)

Hi Judy, this came across a little more rancorous than I intended. Cape Cod is still a beautiful place and who am I to deny its beaches and cool breezes to city dwelling wretches? :) Thanks for reviewing!

You're welcome, Deniz. Maybe I'll get there one day. :)

We'll leave the light on for you! :)

Thanks. :)
Comment from Paul McFarland
I live on the coast of Maine and have the same feelings about the tourists as you do. I do realize that they are important for the local economy, but I always anxiously await Labor Day.

LOL, yes it's good to get our roads back! Cape Cod, as you may know, has only two bridges connecting it to the mainland. They are almost as old as me and are usually under repair as the season opens. So we must be aware it's not good to plan a trip involving the bridges, especially on week ends. :)
Thanks for reviewing!
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I live in St. Augustine and this poem could have also been written about my tourist town. The third stanza from the bottom - exactly! This tells a great story about Cape Cod (and other tourist locations) and rhymes wonderfully. Enjoyed it.

Thank you. It may sound a little more rancorous than intended, although it does have its stressful moments. I'm regretting that, as I was aiming at a more balanced view laced with humor. Thanks for reviewing, Dennis
Comment from MissMerri
VERY cute and funny poem, Dennis. One of my high school friends lived there for awhile and I visited once. She really loved living there, but she was an artist and I guess she found endless inspiration. You have found inspiration also, I see. Your poem title is priceless!! And your rhymes here are close to spectacular in creative originality. I found this piece totally delightful. Wishing I had a six to leave on it. MM

It does have its beauty, and who am I to begrudge city dwellers a brief escape to God's sandy beaches and cool breezes in the hot summers? Thanks for reviewing and God bless you, Dennis
Comment from Shirley McLain
That's rather a pessimistic view of the Cape, but I think most of this country is that way. Get what you can while you can. Great job. Have a blessed day. Shirley

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
This is well written and well presented. The topic is relevant and timely. I can't imagine living in a tourist town, must become so hectic!
The rhymes used do not feel forced and create a nice pace.
