Lol. Read the poem before realizing it was a writing prompt challenge. First thought was wow, 'ol John has been tippin' the bottle back. As it is, I think you did a fabulous job creating a fun poem from some extremely disjointed words. I'm fairly certain no other contestants to this challenge will have used "slime time" in quite the same manner.

    Lol. Your review is actually funnier than the poem. I appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to read the ridiculous thing. John

This is fun and snappy for this unique prompt. You've picked some of my relatives though! How'd you manage that? A delightful read for my reviewing day. Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,
Sal :))

    Thanks, Sally. I'd be interested to know who those relatives are. I wasn't sure I could cram all those things into a poem and it make sense. Of course, it didn't make sense...that was the whole point. By the way, it finished second in the contest.

Excellent write. The author did it well complying with all the requirements of the writing prompt. The real bonus is the fact that the writer was able to come up with rhyming schemes which flowed smoothly too. Thanks for sharing.

If she is not running away by now, she either really needs the money, is more afraid of her pimp than being permanently ruined, or she can take it like a champ.

Very creative poem. The words that they had you use are not easy words to apply in a poem. But you did it nicely. I hope you do well in the contest. Great job.

    Thank you. It was a bit of a challenge. especially trying to figure out how to get "slime time" into the poem. I had to resort to the Hulk and his greenness. I appreciate your review and best wishes.

Generally convincing use of five oddly diverse phrases. Good idea to personify the 'Grease Monkey'. this gives you more scope! The structure and rhyming scheme lend themselves to humour.

You did a fine job getting all the phrases into your poem so succinctly - and it made sense. So well done. Sending best wishes for your entry.

A genuine contest entry which effectively used all required words and told a fine tale.
The tale was believable and made sense whilst also flowed well and meaning was clear.

Oh, my, it sounds as though this lady of the night may be in for the night of her life! You did a great job of writing a humorous poem that doesn't seem forced while using all the prompts given - a tough task, but you pulled it off.

Good luck with the contest.
