Can't stop laughing at your last stanza!!! Great job with the humor. Also, thanks for the colorful anatomy lesson! Of course, I hope this isn't true otherwise, I'd feel guilty that I'm STILL laughing! Good luck in the contest!

Well, this is the first time I have read anyone rhyme with cerebellum so extra credit goes to you! And I agree that it's hard to find humor about a brain tumor. Great job with this. Best wishes in the contest!

    Once in literature class we studied satire and the student had to find important issues and create slideshows using Juvenalian (dark) satire. The goal was to push the envelope of acceptable humor.

    Interesting! And that envelope would vary from person to person or even the same person at different times of life.

I marvel at the fact that you can write something funny about such as this and make me laugh. The last stanza is a hoot. Interesting that the wife made the choice! Good luck in the contest.

A humorous poem on a very serious subject - you fulfilled the requirements well. Excellent presentation. You obviously aren't living the life of celery or you wouldn't be able to write such a fine poem! Best wishes for your entry.

Great poem. A quirky response to the prompt. The choice of language and rhyming was apt, nice touch of humor. The use of the graphic also added to the poet's message, well conveyed. I hope you keep on writing.

Just perfect. Hilarious but not irreverent. I laughed throughout. The rhymes were brilliant. I will be surprised if anyone can top this in the contest. Best of luck.

This poem definitely fits the requirements of the contest. There is nothing funny about being told you have a brain tumor, yet your poem made me chuckle, especially the last line, you also handled that AABB rhyme scheme very well. Rod

Looking on the bright side of life is always a good coping mechanism.

It seems the operation was a success as you are still able to write.

I hope this review finds you well and on the mend.

I was, however l, perplexed by your final line. Perhaps this is my interpretation that you blame the operation for turning you into a vegetable.

I truly hope this is not the case. All the best.
