The End of My Gremlin Saga

 I've been in the soup bowl for an hour or two
Read some great poetry by poets old and new 
So far my commenting is working as it should 
Hope I'm not to early to say things are  good. 

Seems the soup Gremlin met with a grisly end
I think all that he wanted was me for a friend
Or maybe with another poet he's gone to stay
But I just hope from me ; he now keeps at bay. 

If you encounter a Gremlin report it straight away
Because left unchallenged he'll sure ruin your day
Contact the Gremlin hotline the number is free 
They'll soon be on the case and spare you misery.

Oh Tom I do love this poem, any gremlins who have the cheek to enter our soup are either very jealous or just painfully stupid. I'm glad for you that they have been sent packing. Blessings, Jennifer.
