HELLO JENNY: Listen up. If there are 13 fish swimming in the surf, and fishermen hook them all, "EXCEPT NINE," then there's "NINE," left. The other 4, have gone to dinner with the fishermen. Count this one again, Jenny. Cordially: rhonnie69.

Excellent

I seriously laughed out loud after reading this one and, like Ricky, realising I messed up. This was seriously witty and definitely caught me off guard. Congrats.
I really enjoyed the poem and the idea of fooling around and tricking the reader. It was even better because you had already warned us beforehand that this was "tricky". And it was true.
Most certainly, the repetition used with the word "tricky" added rhythm to the poem and highlighted the expression, giving it humorous tones. Moreover, I liked the way you played with that word and the name "Ricky", giving a sense of rhyming to the text.
You did a great job with this one, really.
