Haha, what a fun poem, YM. Good job with the syllable count per line. Your message is clear. I believe many will agree with you. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully with Love, Jan

Comment from Bill Schott
This humorous 5-7-5, Chew On That, has the right set up and blows up the idea that in-laws are people too. They are other people's people.

Comment from Therese Caron
What a funny piece! There are so many movies and sitcoms where the in-laws show up and right away everyone is arguing, grouchy, critical, and staying in the bedrooms of family members who resent being displaced. Great writing!

Comment from Dawn Munro
HAHAHAHA!!! Oops. I don't know about that -- I got along better with my in-laws than my husbands -- except for the first mother-in-law. She rode a broom. HAHAHAHAHA! Fun poem. Good luck!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written humorous 5-7-5 poem about the in-laws who quickly show their true colours after the pretending is over. That is quite true and I saw it often in my and others lives.

You are the only one that REALLY got to the 'secret' in this one, Sandra -- thank you for those great comments!!
Comment from Alex Rosel
Ha, ha! This made me chuckle. I've never thought of the in-laws in terms of gum. But now you've raised that comparison, I see how apt it is: my in-laws stick around and frequently get under my feet.
Here's wishing you the best when the voting booth opens {smiles}.

Yeah, gum was one syllable.... wanted to go with 'pie', but who wants to say something bad about pie (or good about the in-laws - lol!)?! Thank you for your review, Alex!
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Ha ha ha, this made me smile and there is much truth in these words, although my in-laws were good people, but then again we didn't see much of them because we lived too far away, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Yes, absence might not make the heart grow fonder in this case, but it certainly helps it NOT grow angrier! lol! Thank you for your review, Dolly!
Comment from dejohnsrld (Debbie)
A most delightful 5-7-5 poem, my friend. It is humorous but in many cases very true as well. Sometimes the gum lasts longer. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

Comment from Ogden
That appears to be an excellent analogy, but then, I never have met your in-laws. Fortunately for you, there are no truth-in-poetry rules.
