This is absolutely delightful Paul--the rhymes are great and the rhythm works well at 14 beats per two lines. Although it is quite long, you have no problem keeping the reader's interest and attention . This will certainly be a formidable entry in the contest--Good Luck and All the Best!

Thanks, Phil. Yes, Patrick is entertaining.

Funny poem, McFarland. You got a thing about Irish women? (Just kidding.) Certainly, you've got talent, and I'm guessing you may have spent a bit of time assembling this one? If so, I must say it was time well spent. Looking forward to your poem about Pat McKee and Satan's wife (lol). This poem reminds me of Shel Silverstein's work. Silverstein inspired my interest in poetry. Thanks for the poem and good luck in the contest.

Thanks for the review. It did take me awhile to come up with this one. I'm working on another one at present.
Comment from NaughtieScribe
OMG! This is too funny. The idea that the devil has a soul too much of a handful to handle, is priceless. The meter and pace of this work are spot on. I found nothing to tweak or adjust. Well Written, Well Done.

Oh. My! Clever, clever! I was delighted to see another story in the saga of Patrick McKee. Devilishly delightful and giving old Scratch a run for his money. Thank you for this gem! Sending happy Thanksgiving wishes your way, Paul.

Thanks, Shaunna. I'm trying to write a fourth poem about Patrick. Hopefully in a few weeks, I'll have it done.

Can't wait!
Comment from Goodadvicechan
I like the picture. "When in need, call" is a good message matching with this poem. This poem reminds me of the bad politicians.
Unfortunately in today's world, such an unwelcome person is unwelcome everywhere, sadly there seems to be more, much more, in our own country. Certainly we need to find ways to get rid of them.
Let's pray for peace... not let politicians destroy our country.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the review. I can't believe the change in this country over the last seventy-seven years that I've been around.

Glad Patrick McKee is back! Enjoyed your humorous poem! And I really liked the idioms with "hell" that you used in this poem. It added to the humor! I'm curious as to what God's answer would be. I hope the poem does well in the contest!

Comment from lancellot
I think is well written. The rhyme is very smooth and fits right in with the story. Ah, the story is nice, it doesn't see mall the urgent, but what I was wondering the most about is that there was no response from God on the line. I think readers would like to hear a part two with that.

Comment from Sally Law
Poor Patrick McKee is on the naughty list. The negotiations are going south, very south, to heated accommodations. He has not amended his ways and it is not looking good for ol' Pat. Time will tell. My money is on God.... Sending you my best for this delightful delivery,
Sal :))
