My boyfriend, Frank, likes to prank me. I drank flat beer. Now it's my turn. I did learn fast to burn his steak. Frank is to blame for the lame pranks. The game goes on. _____________________ February 16, 2016 Than-Bauk Contest Marugu Mo-Sponsor

Somehow I have a feeling this could escalate into something less than prankish, like those sitcoms that go far into the extremes. I'm horrible at pranks ... either too soft to be anything worthwhile, or too harsh to where I feel bad ... no happy medium. You aced this difficult form, Lin. Well done!

lol Tim. I'd never burn a steak on purpose. I'd be bereft with guilt, so I'm too soft like you. Thanks for liking this one.

Lin, to me this is a difficult form, but your poem FLOWS. It's really good. I'm working on mine, trying to get rid of the "Me, Tarzan; you, Jane" effect! Janice

LOL! How a difficult form like Than-Bauk came so easy and with so much fun within... I'm amazed ... Kudos, Bobby

Thanks. Sometimes my mind visits Never Never Land and writes something silly, but this was a fun form to try. However, it will not be a favorite.

hmm, i hope frank won't be calling it quit with ya, burning his steak will cost him, atleast he's given you beer, he didn't take from you lol....this than-bauk tells the whole world that talents trip the whole of your mind, best of luck in the than-bauk contest

I don't know anyone named Frank. I wouldn't intentionally burn a steak, lol. Flat beer is disgusting, and finally, thanks for all of your visits.
