I love this poem! It made me smile. I love random stuff! I can't live without it, LOL.
God gives us our relatives - thank God we can choose our friends. - Ethel Watts Mumford A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. - Walter Winchell “I’ll Surprise you, I promise” -Adam Lambert
You know what this poem reminds me of? Something by Doctor Seuss, like "One Fish, Two fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish." I loved it! The rhyme and rhythm were good, and who doesn't love a light and funny poem every now and then? Great job!
You must be swift as the coursing river, With all the force of a great typhoon, With all the strength of a raging fire, Mysterious as the dark side of the moon.
Stuff is one of my favorite words!!! This was wonderfully done, I think. It reminds me of when I wrote a poem using the word 'doth' in every line--just because 'tis an amazing word. It didn't turn out too good, but this poem is very well written! Keep writing!

Hey hey! I love this poem! My middle name is Jo connection! aww how sweeeet...anyways this made me giggle and i hope to read more of your super cool and amazingly awesome poetry.
Oh wow, that poem was too funny. It had a nice flow and played nice on humor. I couldn't stop laughing throughout it. I got my sister to read it and she had the same reaction. I have to ask though....what is the brown stuff?
Life is what's left when everything is taken from you.
Okay. I appreciate this, because I came on to review bad, depressing, emo, cutting, slit-wrist poems (those are easiest to review, methinks). Now, I happen to like morbid things (Laughing at SAW, watching Happy Tree Friends, listening to Brains, analyzing Joshua Hoffine pictures...all guilty. If there's something in here you don't know...um...listen to Brains.), however, this was still refreshing. I mean...I like the sun, but I still get overheated. Wait, that's a horrible example. I don't like the sun. More like...I love the snow, but I can still get frostbite. Anyway...since this wasn't a serious poem, this isn't a serious review. >>Annie<<

From the spoiler, I gather you’ve just written this to brighten someone’s day. ... And I think we can all safely say you have done exactly that. Simple, tidy, true genius. Has that Dr. Seuss feel about it. And there’s a very nice rhythm to it, which I like. The rhythm made it all the more enjoyable. I can’t imagine any child... in fact, any human being in existence who would not find this amusing.
Also, if you wanted more stuff, how about these?
Old stuff, New stuff, Borrowed, black and blue stuff
Their stuff, My stuff, Things-you-wanna-buy stuff
Your stuff, Our stuff, Fast-kickin-kapow stuff
I dunno. Not as good as yours though. You’ve chosen the right stuff to put in this poem, and it can be surely said that you’ve got the right stuff...
I love it!

Haha, I like this. It really does lighten the mood and it's very cute and catchy. It does sound a little bit repetitive but that's just the style of the poem I suppose, so there's not much that can be done about that. It flowed well though and I liked your use of rhyming. It made me smile, and that's what you intended it to do, so it's done its job. Well done!
Wow. Not much I can say except that this is amazing. You're a really clever writer, this poem had a great flow to it, your wording was perfect, and it made me laugh. Keep up the great work! -Alex
Jo, I can't see this as a poem honestly, though when many fall into traps of gimmicks and just weak word choice, I think you have a knack they lack. It reads very well, but I get the feeling this is more of a satire and sarcastic inversion of expectations...as you said, something light and funny. It just doesn't have the speaker/voice and audience that poetry has to have. Not sure where to put it, but there's a unique base...that with more meat and the right, constant tone could be quite interesting.
If you'd like, I can give a full review as it is, I'm just hesitant.
