Another comma after "guess"? That is quite possibly just how I read it.

Hehe *is still giggling*

This looked funny to me.

*snorts*

I'm not sure which was funnier: the poem, or the fact that abbisnail copied one of your tried-and-true snarky methods to criticize your poem.

I like it. It's frothy and fun, which you do well if rarely. ^_^

the first thing that caught me was the rarity of someone writing about this topic. everyone always writes about life, death, love, pain, ect ect, until everyone is aching for something new. this is new. this is good.

i feel like it has hidden stanzas after the third one though. maybe one about his marriage and sex life (or lack therefore of) even though you hinted at that in the first stanza. perhaps golf too as smorgishborg suggested.

and i also agree that dispite the fact that there is a great number of us who would love to attack Incandesence's work, we shouldn't go around mindlessly throwing stones at decent poems. abbisnail, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Look, there might not be a poet on these forums who doesn't want to tear into one of Incandescence's poems. Unfortunately, you picked one that was actually quite good and entertaining. Your stanza in response was very good too.

About the original poem: Kudos on rhyming "salute" with "poo"...
In particular I enjoyed the POV of this poem, I clearly saw a crotchety, irritable, curmudgeon. (redundant?).

I just wanted a line about golf. Then it would be perfect.
