It does seem to me that there are many contest out there that have very unusual rules. Some are very poetic and some are just what do you call it just playing garbage just wasn't concerned. The Writing of a 100
word poem is ridiculous. Patricia

I was enjoying the poem, then I came to the end and laughed. This poem was fun, and I liked how it made light of those weird contest requirements. Thank you so much for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Bill, this is just so fun and a delightful chapter for your book.

There's nothing worse than fake meat. I can't look at it, much less eat it.
Real bacon rules!
Sending you my best today as always,

I enjoyed your humorous take on contests. Some of them do offer some odd challenges. Your rhyming added to the fun, as did your "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" satire. Love the ending.

I'm so impressed by this work, with tongue in cheek, excellent narrative and a darn good job of hi-lighting humour. We have holidayed in Malaysia in the past, being a Moslem country by and large, the bacon there is Turkey bacon, so yes, I like it, it's a good imitation. Beautifully written Bill, blessings Roy

Fake bacon makes for an okay poem, but I'm a greasy pork kind of guy who won't settle for anything less. Killing me or not. LOL. Thanks for sharing. ...........................

-Good artwork and poem, Bill.
-I like this take on contests,
subtle and humorous.
-You establish the guidelines for the contest very well,
clear and concise. Effective imagery and rhyme follow,
plus good use of dialogue and the differing approaches
of the Devil and God.
-Sounds like a winning plan at the end!
-Thanks for sharing it and providing some humor.

I think you're poking fun at the the requirments of the contests on FanStory. They do get pretty weird at times and if you like challenges they are for you. I've not seen this particualar one but if you suggest it, I'll bet you'll get some who sign up for it.

I have no idea what is going on here Bill in this chaotic write about fake bacon and it amazes me how others view vegetarians. They think they are missing meat so much that they want to eat fake meat? I can tell you from personal experience that vegetarians hate fake meat and do not touch it with a barge pole. In fact any food that has been messed about with never goes into my shopping trolley. I like to see a real vegetable or piece of fruit and a real piece of fish with fins. I would never eat anything fake! How you managed to organise your words here to reach 100 I will never know, well done, you always come up with something unusual bill, just love your work, love Dolly x

    Thank you, Dolly. I just tried to get a hundred words into a silly poem.

Congratulations my friend. Not only can you rhyme, you can also count to 100. I do not even want to hazard a guess as to what else you can do. I am sure you have many other talents, even if they remain very well hidden.
