Reas: Hehehe! Sadly, it is not unique. I mimicked the style of a not-so-famous-but-published-anyway poet called John Lennon. His poems are in much of the same style. :)

MH: Hahaha... hablas en español muy bien.

Nate: Hehehe... complete disregard of spelling too! And yes, your neighbor is quite correct. Squirrels are funny. Whenever my dog sees them, she goes bananas... which is really funny since she should be going squirrely. Or something.

Mr. Waffles: Don't kill yourself correcting it! XD

That was pure mastery. 'Twas puzzling, because it doesn't seem like much of an ode, though it is strange how that bothers me more than a squirrel carrying a duffel bag would.

'Let's eat Grandma!' or, 'Let's eat, Grandma!' Punctuation saves lives.

Hehe... well that's a play off of one of John Lennon's poems, hehe.

Lol, this is funny. I love where you got the idea from.
Well done, even thought the grammer is bad it makes perfect sense and you can see its done purposely.

:D

Keep up the good work.;

Haha, this is a funny little poem - the thing I love about poetry is that as long as you can understand what it says, grammar can be tossed out the window. Loved it. :lol:

Other than 'Ode to Pancakes,' this is one of the funniest poems I have read in a long time, so I thank you for the entertainment. Almost a Robbie Burns, but with even crazier spelling! I like how everything's spelt all wrong, purposefully, to make us pronounce the words like that, in a half-Scottish, half Irish accent (at least, that's how I read it aloud) and that word - 'tharting' - I almost died laughing reading your poem aloud. For someone who now prefers modern poetry, this certianly puts an interesting spin on things - allows us to use old poetry for humour - so thanks also for reviving that :)
