Count me as 'more than two' and that 'get your twisted humor'.... loved this one, Ron!! ;) :) I mean, there's so much here to love (even if you perceive it as imaginary - lol!) after a day of grading papers and lesson planning for the week -- so needed to know that you cry over spilled vodka and that Barbara Eden lights up your fantasies... :) :) Best of luck to you in the contest, my friend, you have my vote!! ;) :) Yvette
P.S. That handsome fella in the shades there... does he know how to write as well as you do.... LOL!! :) ;)

Lol. I hope he does because he's who I see every time I look in the mirror. Haha. Thank you for the fantastic review, Yvette. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars and support. I'm glad my silliness brightened your day. I couldn't do the job you do. Having to deal with kids all day long would drive me batty. I would need a good, hearty chuckle and some unspilled vodka after that. That's for sure. Thank you again, Yvette. I'm glad you liked my take on the contest. Have a great night.

I enjoyed this read. If we can be whatever we want to be,, it would be nice, but unfortunately we sometimes present ourselves in a wrong light.
I wish you the best in the contest.

Comment from Pantygynt
I am actually amused by this. Does that mean I am not anal retentive -- whatever that is. This worries me because as I have never shared my ass hole with anyone I had thought I must be, yet it just did not seem like a compliment somehow. I suppose I shall now be in trouble with the gay community.
Oh well, who cares? By the way, I cry over any spilt alcohol.

Lol. I don't know why they call it that. It just means someone who nit picks about everything. They want everything perfect as to how they perceive it. Not sure where it got the name anal retentive. It has nothing to do with gay folks. Even though it sure sounds like it. Haha. Thank you for the great review, Pantygynt. I really appreciate the generous stars, friend. Have a great day.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
Much of this poem is worthy. I especially like the two special characteristics you have chosen.
"I worry if Tom keeps me here for my poetry or my money." What does this mean please? We are not in Hotel Califoria here, are we? I am bemused.

Thank you for the great review, Katherine. That line means that after all the negative and sarcastic stuff I've written on here, I wonder if Tom (the site owner) keeps me on the site because of some of the better poetry pieces I write or if he just keeps me on the site because he loves the monthly fee I get charged for being on the site. I hope that cleared it up a little. I was only being silly, just like the rest of the piece. Thank you again for the review and generous stars, K. Have a great day.

Comment from Gloria ....
This is hilarious, Ron and with the most cool selfie completes the picture of what I see as a guru of the new, new of the nouveau new.
Excellent humour from start to finish and the way you've organized it, oh so easy to read and remember especially the I am sarcastic and mendacious.
Wishing you wonderful luck in the booth.
PS I think Tom keeps you around for both. ;-)

Lol. I do to.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Gloria. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars. Yeah, I kept it pretty simple and straight forward, not making it too wordy for folks to lose interest. Plus, adding my own touch of me in there. Lol. I'm glad you liked this silly piece, G. Thank you again. Have a wonderful night.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
I like the title, and the picture of you taking a "selfie" and, most of all I love your wit and sarcasm. The repeating of the first, and, last lines of each stanza, help the cohesion of the piece for the contest. I have a lot of favorites, but I can relate the most to, the line about wanting World Peace, and not wanting to donate time or cash. That's true and funny to many of us. This is clever and humorous, at least to those of us who are honest with ourselves.
I'd like to make one suggestion, and that is to place this poem under the poem category instead of, the General Fiction category. You might get more reviews that way. Who knows? It's worth a try...
Well done and most definitely, sarcastic.
Take care, Jesse

Hey, Jesse, hello. Thank you for the fantastic review, friend. Yes, I know a lot of folks who don't want to be honest with themselves on here. Lol. Or at least don't want to admit they agree with a few things I've mentioned. The changing it to a poem is a good idea. At first, I kept it in prose because it only takes 5 good reviews to make it up to the well received, front page. It takes 8 for the same thing to happen when it's a poem. I might change it now, though. I really appreciate the excellent review, Jesse. Thank you again. Have a great night.

Hello Ron.
I did not know that about only needing 5 good reviews to make it to well received with prose. That's good to know.
You are welcome for the review. It was a pleasure to read and review your poem. Have a great day.
Take care, Jesse
Comment from LyndaS
I touch nothing that comes from China. HAHAHA! This is great and I think very honest. Sarcasm hides a lot of truth. There are many good lines in this, most of them funny. You are sarcastic, mendacious and also hilarious. Nice pic, dude. Well done. Giving you a sixer for bravery. Lol! Lynda

Comment from Bill Pinder
This is a humorous entry for this ridiculous contest,, which is probably a total waste of your time. But, good luck anyway, since I'm sure it would totally change your life if you won the contest.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hello, sarcastic poet,
Don't worry, unless you attack other poets, Tom will allow you to say just about anything you please. Believe me, I know. You have an interesting delivery and you are at least honest about it.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-I really like the selfie!
-I like getting to know
you a little bit.
-I also like your repeating line.
-The bit about Gallagher is pretty good;
we actually saw him in person a
long time ago, but did not sit in the front.
-I also like the line about Tom; I
would guess it is both reasons!
-The best one is understanding the rules,
and winning the contest, of course!
-Good luck and thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for the excellent review, Pam. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars and good luck wishes. Yeah, I don't think I'd want to be in the front row of one of his shows. Haha. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Thank you again. Have a great night.

You are very welcome, Ron. I did enjoy this. One thing about Gallagher's show- he always seemed family friendly, but I think he used more adult language in the live show!
