I put money in the stock market, knives were cut sharply diapers remained unchanged and paper was stationery toilet paper touched a new bottom, switches were off feathers were down. the pigs are feeding at the trough Maurice Yvonne September 8 2014 Chastuska Me - Poetry Contest Dr. Ram Mehta

Humourous write as ever Maurice - thankfully I didn't have said it was a load of 'Bull' and I couldn't 'Bear' to read it :-) Maybe we can take stock and share the same step on the winners podium. Hugs Jan xx

Maurice . . . Your Chastushka or Russian Folk Poem style is quite interesting. I need to write some of these too. I noticed that this one is for a contest. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you my friend. You have a gift for the words and for superb poetic expression. Also, Congrats on your number one ranking in the PS e-mail highlighting all of us who are new poets. I want to enter more contests too, of course. Busy with all my other projects and the long epic poem I mentioned. Cheers, Gary
