Comment from K.I. Betancur
That's quite a poem! I can appreciate 'dark humor,' but this goes beyond that. Nicely written nonetheless! Congratulations on winning the contest and being recognized!

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
How impressive to write so humorously about such a difficult, almost taboo subject. So cleverly expressed in rhyme and no wonder you won the contest. If it's any consolation, I've got a dodgy cerebellum! All the best to you, Debbie

The brain it makes you think.
Comment from LJbutterfly
Congratulations on your well deserved win by a landslide. You took a very serious subject...a tumor on the brain, and created a smooth flowing rhyme with a humorous, surprising last line. Well done.

Comment from Kaiku
Bill, this was very clever. I erupted in laughter at the last line. The only thing I could think of was either peanut butter or Nutella on a celery stick. Well done and you blew the competition away. Probably the biggest margin of victory ever! Quit it!

Oh... I get that last line. Very good. He's now a vegetable. Ha, that was good. I didn't expect that.
Yes, this certainly took a serious subject and presented it with humor.
This is a solid entry. I hope it wins.

Comment from LisaMay
I enjoyed this well written black humour very much. This sort of decision is faced by many people every day, some possibly pushed into it by wives such as the one in the poem. I hope you enjoy being a vegetable!

I yam in awe of your writing - not that of a has-bean.

Well done taking a serious issue (or at least a serious word) and turning it into something to snicker at.
Well done my friend. Good luck in the upcoming contest.

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
This is a well-conceived poem from the title to the text. The text is a great size. The message clearly pokes fun at a serious topic. The rhyme scheme is well done. You even managed to make the last line of being in a vegetative state funny. The visual fits okay. Good luck in the contest. I voted for this entry.

You are welcome. It's the best out of the entries. It seems to be a shared sentiment.
