That was sooo cute and funny!!!! I loved it. I cant imagine eating that much food. I would probably die just eating that two pounds of better on ten loaves of bread!!! You took great care with the form and rhyming of this poem, I can tell, and it certainly turned out to be the best it could be! Love it.

I really appreciate when a poet takes such careful time to really care about the meter and the flow of the poem. You have captured this AMAZINGLY in this piece. This is the first I have read of yours, but reading other's comments, I think I will read some more because this seems to be your style! Thank you so much for sharing this fun poem! I really enjoyed it a lot. All the best.

Always a pleasure to read your humorous poems Baz. Your meter and flow are always impeccable and I am never without a smile while reading through each stanza. You must have done a lot of food research on this one. Excellent as usual. You get a 100 from me.
Just curious,
then he puts on his hat
and set off through the town
Should that be (sets off through town?)
