Hi, Marv,

The photo is one that reminds me of my son's modeling days.

This story was fun and I loved the whimsy of it. Thank you for sharing with us,

Thanks for reviewing these limericks. It seems like a suitable farewell to the larcenous couple.
I'm glad you thought it was fun and I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for the five stars.
A model for a son. Cool.

Hi Marv. I've been off the site for a while. This is an amusing story poem that I've enjoyed reading, although I don't know who Chet and Annette are. Still, good job. Marilyn

Thanks for reviewing the three parts to this story. The first two are my submission to the contest.
I'm glad you thought the limericks are amusing. They're my way of saying farewell to the larcenous couple. But, they may return.
Thanks for the compliments and the five stars.

I'll go for a hunky-dory ending. I enjoy happy endings. Chet must have been clever if he was not accused of any crimes. With a baby on the way, maybe Chet will be reformed. Excellent rhyme, and a fun read. judi

I'm glad you like happy endings. With a baby, changes are necessary.
Thank you for reviewing and the 5 stars. You don't know how clever Chet is, yet! Reformed might be one way to put it.

Comment from pome lover

Excellent

well that is an interesting theory
But I have just one little query -
Why write off those two?
You've made them folks who
With baby will be oh so cheery.

a cute poem, MM
but seriously, they could add a comedic touch to your story,
I wouldn't write them out.
She could get morning sickness in the middle of a heist or some other scenario, or get so big she can't fit behind the wheel of the get-away car, or something. And Chet could turn into a nervous wreck.
Guess I'm getting carried away with your new character situation.
sorry. You probably have a totally different route you want to go.
Anyway, good luck and keep having fun.

You are so clever. Your poem is great!
I guess you mean write stories about Channette from time to time.
There was no plan to do that. The only reason I wrote the limericks was because the story was screaming for some sort of wrap up. Then that limerick wanted a mate. I don't like to write or submit only one limerick at a time. It doesn't seem fair to the reader.
Writing more stories is an excellent idea. May I borrow your suggestions or do you plan to use them?
I've got a murder mystery to get back to, and, of course, the real Loophole. Can't wait to see what FS will call it.
I am having fun. Can't believe the reviews.
Marv

reply by pome lover on 24-Aug-2018

nooo, I am delighted you want to use them - that was the idea. great.
Am so glad you're getting good reviews and having fun. that is the point of writing, as far as I'm concerned. If it's not fun. don't do it. :)
and as for FS and Loophole - that is now CHALLENGE NUMERO UNO!!!

Comment from Gloria ....

Exceptional

Well what the heck? Now a couple of cons that get pregnant at the senior's centre? LOL

Kidding Marv. That was one of the most unique stories I've ever read and I'm happy to give you may last six star of the week.

Like I said yesterday, thanks for reviewing all three parts, at once.
Who would have thought a little contest entry would merit Six stars. Thank you very much for that, plus your encouragement and compliments.
You suggested that I write more poetry. Do limericks count?
Marv

Comment from Sally Law

This is great and very original. It made me laugh today. Who knew poetry could be so funny. A good warning about the likes of someone like Chet. At least, Annette got a baby out of the relationship--but what parents!
Blessings to you and your family,
Sally

Thank you, Sally, for reviewing and the 5 stars. Making people laugh__that's my favorite. I have other humorous poems, but first, I'd like you to check out ?The Twin?, Part I and Part II, preceding these limericks.
Thanks for the compliments.
Bless you and stay healthy.
Marv

reply by Sally Law on 24-Aug-2018

You are welcome. I have a lot of catching up to do as I am new to Fan Story. I will check those poems out.

I don't believe I've come across Chet and Annette before, but they seem to have a successful career and relationship. I'm curious what the title "The Twin III" refers to? This ditty did make me smile. The lines and rhymes flow easily on the tongue.

Thank you, Dawn, for reviewing and the five stars. They did have a history which I'd like you to check out. See, The Twin Part I.
I'm glad you felt the lines and rhymes flow easily on the tongue. Much appreciated.
Marv

Comment from LeftHandedScribe

Good

Nice use of irony, and your characters are well drawn. Lots of history in this relationship making these people easy to imagine. I feel the spacing could be cleaner and would love a photograph (black and white maybe) attached.

Thank you for the four stars. I'll look for a photo. Thanks for the compliments.
There is a ?Twin?, Part I and Part II preceding these limericks.

Thank you for sharing. Did you mean to say "honky dory"? I always thought it was "hunky dory." Anyway I do like the limerick form, but your meter is a little rough.

Thanks for reviewing and the five stars. Sorry to say, I never thought about spelling.
I like to write limericks, using the 9-9-6-6-9 word layout, once I found out the standard cadence. Not sure what to do about the meter of this one.

Thanks for reviewing.
I felt I had to give a special farewell to this popular couple. (Soon to be a trio)
Funny and lighthearted was pretty much what I was going for. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the five stars and the compliments.
