I loved this sooooo much. Superbly written in the style of the old ballads. Perfect rhythm and metre; gave it a five!

Robin:

When I attempt a long story-telling poem like this, I have a trio of poems in mind. Casey at the Bat by Ernest Thayer is always first; it is my favorite. But I am also a big fan of The Lion and Albert, by Marriot Edgar, and The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God, by J. Milton Hayes.

If you aren’t familiar with them, and like this format, look them up. You won’t be disappointed.

And thank you all for you very kind comments.

I’ve just read this after a hard day at work and a long commute home. Absolutely great humour skilfully deployed! You’ve put a bounce back in my step and made me smile. Thank you.

Cheers

Good work keeping the rhyme going for so long. what does it remind me of? Maybe Edward Lear?
