Congratulations on your win! I love the humor in this poem. Fun surprise ending. I can imagine how smug you must have felt when you finished this...while the rest of us were anguishing over many more lines!

Plain, simple, to the point. It has a beginning, a middle and an end and doesn't drag on. Nice work. I like how it started with a knock and ended with a doorbell.

Dude, this is hilarious. So brief, yet so precise, and the ending, I didn't see it coming. This is a an excellent entry for the contest. I'm not sure how this will rate to the other entries, but you have my vote. Good luck.

Lovely, brief, and to the point. It reminds me of the old story about a philosophy exam in which one of the questions was: "Is this a question?" The best answer was: "If it is, then this is the answer." However, I expect you will not win the contest as readers will feel deprived of a full story with characterisation.

Very funny--and exquisitely concise. I wonder, did you splurge for one of those video doorbells? Me, I've always been a knocker man.
Best of luck in the competition.

Peace, Lee

    Lol. No, just a bell. Plus, I had to add a "No Soliciting" sign over the top of it. Haha. Thank you for the great review and stars, Lee.
