Comment from Terry Reilly
A powerful reminder that Poetry doesn't always have to be cute or pretty or profound or meaningful. Making people laugh is just as important and this one achieves that in Spades. Well done!

Thanks very much Terry! Banana bourbon happens to be deeply profound and meaningful to gorillas 🦍
Comment from Saki the Artist
Very clever. Sometimes I forget that "one" starts with W.
The artwork is over the top XD
Great choice of fonts and coordinating colors. The stylization of "Banana Bourbon" is so convincing that I'd believe it's a real brand.

Comment from Baltimore Born
All right, this one had me laughing. This is a well-written humorous poem. I got to bookmark this one. Your 5-7-5 syllable count is on point for this writing prompt. Excellent picture to compliment the poem. Nice job.

That is a striking image...so unexpected. You had a lot of fun playing with 'W'. I have not heard of banana bourbon, so had to look it up. I agree, winter would be wonderful with banana bourbon. Could the title be improved though? I'm sure you could make it work harder. Good luck in the contest.

Good point. This was a tricky one to title, and I have changed it. Probably could still be improved but now it's less of a cliche. Thank you for the tip.
