all righty then.

as weak as an old man's bladder.

extremely insightful. I read thousands of these types of poems, but just called them awful and trite.

nice form, trite topic, but nice form. perhaps more precise images or specific details...

a good attempt. seems to miss saying something important.

odd. the words are interesting--but not rhythmically limericky.

sounds like a best man speech. a pleasant tribute to a friend. appropriate in certain circumstances--perhaps a greeting card.

I like it, but the first three lines could go. they are ambiguous.

By Jove ! I recall marking this as an 8 but not mentioning what an excellent poem it is, original and intelligent well done

Thoughtful, and quite sombre in parts but nontheless a wonderful piece of writing my boy...9

you don't need legs to dial 0. just a pink telephone--and not one of those hands-free models, either.

I liked it all right. 8.

Certainly could have had more specific images and less superfluous words. has a certain "greeting card" quality that borders on stomach virus.

shame on you. this is all over the web, and was even a joke of the day from www.geocities.com/steve_lynchuk/jokes.html ((you earn a ZERO!))

I was doing fine until you made fun of bacon. it is my breakfast meat of choice, and it is not gay. however, the last is the best.

most likely all of the above. 8 grins.

Hidden meaning? I can't find it. Your vagueness needs to be balanced with hints. Too much vague and you aren't understood. Too many hints and it's no fun.

almost funny. almost serious. tough to do well. the rhyme scheme makes it hard to take seriously.
