Comment from Marilyn Hamilton

Excellent

Oh my gosh! This was so entertaining. I'm just wondering if Grandpa's name was Mulligan because that would make the dish she prepared a Mulligan stew. The moral of the story leaves the reader with definite words tolive by. LOL Excellent entry for the Share a Story in A Poem contest. Good luck.

Bravo! Excellente. A twist from you with a dash of humor. Well done, and fun to read. I could see where that stew would have left someone blue, likely mama.

Delightful. And probably calorie free. Love your rhyme and rhythm and the words flow smoothly together. I really enjoy poetry with humour and this is a fine example of that done well.

What a cute poem. I like the way you write a story within a poem. It's clear in what you are saying. Goodness, no one would like to eat anything other than food.

Thank you Roaemary. Thank of a story you can turn into a poem is the hard part. I'd heard of this happening. I don't if really happened or was an urban legend.

Oops! Haha! A great story skilfully told in your flowing and rhyming verse! This is fun and I enjoyed without any anticipation of the well-crafted ending. An excellent contender. Good luck, Beth! Debbie

Thank you so much, Debbie. Several people mentioned they didn't see the twist coming. I'm glad you liked the humor. I think it grossed a few people out.

Ack! This is more horror than humor! I think Rose needs some basic lessons on how to distinguish food from cremated ashes. You told the story well in rhyme. Best wishes in the contest!

Thanks Helen, It is pretty gross. I read on a unusual true stort site this was suipposed to have actaully happened. It is hard to believey and wonder if it was real or an urban legend. At any rate I made up most of the details and names. Thanks for the review.
