Comment from Quire's Gal
What an imagination poet. This is so creative. "just a little sweetener can make a cop go blind" is my favorite!
Flows well, good rhyming couplets, inventive rhymes, (Wesson, lesson) and definitely good advise if one wishes a life of crime. :)
You had me laughing all the time. So glad I hit this on a Sunday when I had my sixes. Good luck in the contest with this zany trip through the alphabet.

Katherine, thank you for the lovely review and the six stars. I use my wife as a chuckle-meter for these humorous posts and I got a few good gurgles out of her with this one...
Comment from Cornelius2000
Short, sweet and CLEAN it is....and clever too. Not only have you come up with all these rules for life, but rhymed them too....and used humor. I especially liked, "Lady Luck's an oxymoron; never trust a dame." Nice job.

Extremely well done, and if ever I find myself in a "Dodgy" situation I shall remember these rules.
You have met the rules of the competition, even using X correctly, although Xanax is not in my medicine cabinet. LOL
Ddiolch for sharing.

Comment from poesyapprentice
Interesting slant to this rules for life contest... some amusing lines, versatility for one...I liked your line about guns not killing but people will, that is so true! You kept to the rules (unless they count those tiny little colorful spots as unclean) and gave it a twist. Nice job!

Comment from Titanx9
I wish I had another six stars; this one is deserving of ten stars. You not only did an outstanding job with the ABC poem, but you rhymed magnificently. I love this poem. It's a delicious tale that you've managed to keep cogent, even in this format. I will remember to vote. Good luck!

Funny the number of different lines people have chosen as their favourite...
Comment from lewische
Just lovely! What a great laugh! Some really funny images and the rhyming flowed without any apparent contrivance. I laughed out loud quite a few times - 'Lady Luck's an oxymoron; never trust a dame'. Great writing. Thank you!

Comment from Grace Campbell
I smiled the whole time I read this. This ryhmed like heaven. It was so funny, and you couldn't have picked a better picture. I don't know which line was my favorite--they're all so good. If someone offered me a thousand dollars to pick my favorite line, I'd be scratching my head for hours.
Good job!
