Reading the instructions for this contest, I would have been very surprised if this hadn't won. It's priceless humour that probably resonates with every single person who reads it, male or female, young or old. And your choice of obscure word is perfect! (Never heard of it! LOL)

    Yeah... this one I just couldn't resist when I ran across the word! :) ;) Thanx for your review, O Lady of the North -- I always wonder if I don't stick to 'nature pretties' how things will fair these days... and it's hit and miss! :) ;) LOL! :) Take care! ;) Yvette

You really picked an obscure word to write a poem about. I've never heard of absquatulate before. Odd that the piem is somebody going down the fire escape, and the picture is someone climbing up. Good luck in the contest,

    And you would have never known that if I had not included a picture credit/line in the author notes. :) Thank you for your review. :) ;)

Did you have to really pull out a dictionary to find "Absquatulate"? Unlikely I'd use this term in everyday conversation, but it has a lot of character and I definitely understand the concept. Good luck.

A very well-written obscure word 7-9-7 about the father coming home unexpectedly and the boyfriend have to escape unseen along the old fire escape.

Well now, I learned a new word. Absquatulate slides right off the tongue. LOL. Very cute poem and a great visual to match. Good luck in the contest. This is a good entry.
