Wile E Coyote and Road Runner

Road Runner escaped the cleverest traps Because he had no known handicaps Outwitted, outsmarted at every turn, His nemesis would sigh, doing a slow burn. Wile E. Coyote was determined to destroy Road Runner by using every available ploy, But the tricky bird was ever so clever Always escaping by pulling the lever. written August 28, 2021

oh, yes, I get what you are saying. I think mine is a little this way, but I don't think using adjectives to describe the person is wrong. I need to see mine again and see if I used action in that first line or a description. By the way, these are awesome

Thanks, Andrea. I just wanted you to be aware that there was some stickiness in the requirement, in my opinion.

"Outwitted, outsmarted at every turn" this is so true!

Funny. I really worked on this one, and then it didn't meet the requirements for the contest. Frankly, I was pissed, but I kept the poem here because I think it is good!

Me, too, Delice...I think we all enjoyed seeing the coyote foiled time after time.

I'm sorry it didn't qualify for Joseph's contest, Terry. It seems I messed up following the directions! I liked the poem anyway.

Nicely done Milton I'm predicting this to be on the podium.

See note to Terry above. I withdrew the poem rather than making it work for the contest. Thanks for your confidence, however.

Roadrunner is a Coyotero Apache clan, so that cartoon was a personal favourite. Aloha!

Thanks so much, Rico, for that added information. I did not know that! It was my favorite, too.
