Comment from Dr. Von
The poem is humorous and tricky. The art of meeting the writing prompt with a good writing product is no small thing. I enjoyed the rhyme scheme. The lines are clever and land the message. Good luck in the contest. Good writing.

Lol. I think you used all those words required and I liked your pun with "I felt wurst when his sausage like fingers." I wonder if those words were chosen because they would be hard to use as end rhymes.
Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
You made me smile with this one Douglas and it is quite a task to make all these words fit into a poem that makes sense and being threatened with a gun would certainly cause immense fear, but hopefully not the contest, good luck, love Dolly x

Thanks Dolly. It was a fun format! Placed third in Field of 18, so not bad!

You did deliver a likable rhyming poem. It brings about the words: pickle sausage, orange, Scrooge, and Doodle. When you see the word Scrooge, a person does think of Christmas.

Scrooge always reminds me of Bill Murray. So many good entries in this contest. Still, I may place. Very exciting. Thanks for your review!
Comment from Fleedleflump
Lol, this conjured all sorts of very dodgy images in my head and let me feeling slightly frightened of sausages. Those blonds are always dangerous, regardless any other consideration! This was lots of fun :-)

Comment from irishauthorme
Hey, satire, but very clever!
I liked the twisty story, and then the last few lines caught me by surprise.
I should have guessed what was coming, from the foreshadowing lines before, but...
Great picture to set the theme, and I liked the way you utilized the same rhyming last word, all the way through!
Neat!

Winning. What is it? Being rated as Win, Show or Place? I take solace simply being in a place where people can read what is in the mind of a post-graduate madman, which isn't a course taught at university. I liked this piece. Keep going, and welcome to FS. It's sometimes a bore not having more frequent contest of substance. There are a lot of shorties contested.

Winning for me is getting the reader to feel the emotion that I intended. I agree that there is not a lot of substance pieces on the site. I would like to see more novel related contest. The Haikus and short poems do seem somewhat easier. With this format I expected that the poems would be silly. That can be good because there are a lot of dark sad people on here suffering from loss. It is also challenging when you are coerced into using words and rhymes in your work. Makes one have to strategize a bit. Thank you for your insightful comments. Hope you smiled at something in my poem. That was my intent and for me would be a win!

:-) I did :-) twice, and print them in this box to have you see.
You may not know but you can post whatever you please on your own outside a contest by going to WRITE in the tool box and post a poem, book, script or book, at no charge. I do it regularly.
You can also CREATE A CONTEST in the box next to WRITE. I do this occasionally, especially when what I write doesn't fit and I feel the need to share my thoughts. There are minimal fees for this but it's cheap, like three bucks, and your feedback is on the subject YOU select. Tom H

I knew you could do a book. No, I didn't know you could post other stuff. Thanks Tom! That is a great tip!
