Well done, you incorporated all the phrases in your poem very well. I'm a definite fan of the hulk so this struck a chord with me. Best of luck in the contest. :)

You nailed this writing prompt entry using all the suggested phrases and causing this reader to smile. I enjoyed reading and am curious how this rondeau turned out. LOL

This narrative poem used all of the required words for the prompt. While rhyming poems seem to have gone out of style, I have a preference for them. I guess I am a dinosaur.

Haha.. This is a good entry to this contest. The text is a great size. I like that you wrote it as a dialogue, rhyming poem. You are flexing your skills. The storyline/message is clearly stated. The visual fits well. Overall, you did a good job. Good luck in the contest.

You did a great job with incorporating these phrases into a funny poem. Impressive control over the punctuation of the conversation. Seems the grease monkey is too dumb to take offense at the lady's insult. Or maybe he's clever to turn it into a compliment.

A slimy grease monkey meets the lady of the night here and it sounds like they are having a good time. I have no idea what a Salisbury steak is? Good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

    Thank you for your review and best wishes. A Salisbury steak is a poor man's steak made mostly from ground beef.

Pretty clever use of the required words here, and a funny story to go with it.
Your picture just set the mood for your verse, that quizzical look!
Good luck in the contest!

I absolutely loved this poem. I couldn't stop laughing (very witty).
The expression on the grease monkey's face says it all.
What a great poem!
Thanks for sharing.

    I'm shocked! I didn't think this little poem full of nonsense would attract much interest. I'm so glad it did and I'm so thankful you took the time and effort to read and review it. I agree with you about the stupid look on the grease monkey's face. I promise you it's not me...

This is going to be a tough contest to judge. I've read a few of the entries to date. They are all well written, but in my estimation at the moment you have the slight edge.
Best of luck in the contest and well placed on the directive/required lines.

    Thank you. I've tweaked it a bit to hopefully make it make more sense, if you could possibly make this poem have any sense at all. I appreciate your review and best wishes.
