I like the POV of your poem, Bill. Your lines flow well with a true, but sad story, for Lester. I like the repeating lines in each verse, too. Thanks for sharing. Jan

I thought this was an entry into that TVLand contest. It goes with the music to Gilligan's Isle. I was singing your poem to that music, Bill. I enjoyed it a lot. You have good meter and rhyming skills. I admit I do not order lobster because I know it is not already dead. Thank you for sharing

Oh. My. Goodness. You didn't! Aaaaaaa! Call animal services! Call the crustacean hotline! :) :) And to think, such an outlandish action has spurred your homicidal tendencies...this is a very sad day. Poor Lester. :) :) :) :)

Thanx again, sir! :) Yvette

If it's any consolation, I'm contented to let the lobsters live. They aren't high on my list of favorites. Poor lobster, all its ambitions for enjoying a pleasant sea life are dashed. Very graphic description of what happens to the poor fellow. Excellent rhyme and flow. judi

You're welcome. You should have put a warning for violence against lobsters. judi

No lobsters were harmed in this poem.

I love lobster and I always feel a bit guilty ordering it.

Poor Lester. A very graphic description of meal preparation. I don't know if I can ever eat lobster again. lol

Terrific form you have invented here. I like how it reads. Good word choices, good rhyme but not overdone. The repetitive last two lines on each stanza makes a pleasing pattern. You have a winner here! Bravo! :)
