Comment from Judy Couch
I like your idea of using all the titles in one short story. It's creative. You wrote it well. It's easy and fun to read.

Thank you Judy. It was intended as a fun write. I think some people take these contests too seriously. I have always preferred irreverence to intelligentsia. Perhaps that says something about my intelligence

Actually it says something about your understanding of what most people like to read. MOst people read for recreation and it's supposed to be fun and easy.
Comment from Tatarka2
I'm giving this a 4, not because there's a thing wrong with it, but just in comparison to the other pieces in this contest. I like the way you've used all the titles to create this short piece. It's amusing, but not as lyrical or meaningful as some of the other poetry and essays.

I intended this as a piece of nonsense. I knew it had no chance of winning. I do agree with you there were some very good entries in the contest. I do however get concerned when people attempt to put their own spin on somebody else's work. I'm not all that sure Paul McCartney would have agreed with several of the interpretations
Comment from Fergie248
I enjoyed reading your little story. Nice use of all the Beatles titles. It was so sad though, it left me thinking "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" LOL! Good luck in the contest. Fergie (big Beatles fan)

Fergie, you can not only hold my hand, you can also love me do.
Sorry about that, I just couldn't resist using the line. I also loved their music though. Thanks for reviewing my entry
Comment from Doc Holiday
Well, I guess you covered all the bases here with this poem.
Your Yesterday arrangement was a flashback used to fit all the song titles in
the story tale. Nice variety of material here. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from alf collier
Hi Bob. This had me smiling to start with. I entered a contest once, years ago, where beatles' songs were to be used in a story, like this. the winner used almost every title and something like twenty connecting words. It too, was an amazing piece. Loved this, alf

Thank you alf. And I thought you had good taste, guess this proves otherwise. Was written in a hour of sheer stupidity.
Glad you enjoyed it

Hi Bob,
Very, very, very slick. I was dreading this when I realised what you were attempting but this was so well constructed.
I loved it.

Guess that proves your taste is as suspect as mine. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving so many stars. I've changed it slightly since it was first posted. Thanks again giraffmang.
Love to know the reasons behind your name
Comment from Zaphod
Good stuff. Love the Beatles. Only one thing I noticed on my read:
GOODBYR?
May want to make sure you change that.
Best of luck,

Comment from Jacob Collins
I enjoyed reading this piece, Bob, this is a great entry to the contest and I think that it'll do well. The writing was cleverly constructed and I liked the way how you incorporated songs made famous by The Beatles which were recorded at Abbey Road Studios. An excellent piece. Good luck in the contest...Jacob
