Move your big fat head Frost you block the sun like
it's all dark down this well you're creeping me out
with your ramblings of clouds , appearing God-like
don't make me come up there and slap you about!

Something more? OK pal, you are annoying
me to death with archaic form blah blah blah
others taunt you because you quit your day job
to waste time writing poems of wells ha ha ha .

I see you way up there I know you hear me
toss a rope or I swear I'll whup you big time
one more thing poet boy if you're so smart then
how come my poem not yours is perfectly rhymed?

Wait come back I didn't mean to be offensive
but it's just that I'm stuck down here and I'm bored
do you think maybe you could get me published
though this may sound farfetched I'd like nothing more.

Mayhap try a little more honey next time?

I love the conversational quality here, the down-to-earth language and the whole thing, really.  It pasted a big smile on my face, and that's what I like the most.

Dear Dr. Moose1,
At first I was offended how anyone could talk about one of my favorite poets that way. Then I thought of something Robert said and you and him made me laugh, because I was
dreaming what it would be like to grab you by the throat. LOL You did just as Robert said and did it well my friend. You got me!

life by the throat.

Once again the last shall be first,

Dear David D.
Thank you kindly, my intent was not to offend, merely amuse. I also am a BIG FAN of the departed Mr. Frost. I have imitated his style on two or three occasions, hopefully without causing any lasting damage.
To smile, and laugh, therefore to live fully.
Doc

Pilgrimage,
Thanks so much, that was my intent, to visualize what would perhaps take place if someone was down Frosts' well when he was composing such an articulate piece.
Doc

Interloper,
Thanks. Honey ain't funny, as I hoped this would be. My apologies to all.
Doc

Nakd,
Thanks. If I remember correctly he was a tad put off ( obviously, as my publishing contract never came through ). Last I remember, he mumbled something about
voices in his head and that was the last I heard from him . Good thing I don't need a publisher anymore ( what with all the spare change people keep tossing in here ) but, I could still use that rope, got any on ya?

Doc
