STOP THE INSANITY!!!

just a bit of nonsense to quell the fires

Let's stop this in house cafe bickering

I suggest a food fight instead...

getting smacked upside the head

doesn't hurt half as bad as what's been said

it only leaves a bad taste in the mouth

let's get back to the joy of writing what's in our noggin

instead of letting all that raw sewage seep out

now that will surely whet your appetite 

& no taste left for food, 

sooo, here's to tomatoes in your face &

margaritas poured over your head

watch out for that flying dog!

This is priceless Frieda! Would that be grand, to hurl food full pace at the people who manage to anger us most! (Usually the ones we love and live with!) The final three lines reminded me of Tom&Jerry, in addition to your comical hot dog picture the "wacky races" kind of image came rushing into my head! Very fun and full of energy Frieda, this shows that all poetry can be great, even if it does not have incredible depth! Great work! :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks Willow, glad you enjoyed it :-)

[Rebecca Buller]

Frieda, this was F-A-N-tastic!! And I agree with what my fellow scribes have stated in previous reviews. We're here to write (simply because we love to) & read (simply because we love to). We're here to encourage each other &, just maybe, become even better writers along the way. With that being said, I'm giving all of you peeps a virtual hug:)

By the way, Frieda, the exploding hotdog is hilarious! It also looks really yummy:) :)

[Frieda P]

Love your sense of humor too, giving you a huggle back! Glad you liked the dog, it's a specialty in joisey, hot dogs all the way, we'd never throw one though, too good!

[Rebecca Buller]

Whew! That's a relief. It'd make me sad to see that lovely hot dog meet such an untimely demise:)

[Rita L. Sev]

Though I cannot condone wasting margaritas, and as a vegetarian would be freaked out if someone threw a hot dog at me, I do love the sentiment of this piece (you knew I would!) Let's read, review, write, challenge, enjoy, and repeat.

[Frieda P]

No margherita's were wasted in the making of this Rita, you should know that, and i should have realized you were one of those annoying vegans, Lol. ;-)

[Rita L. Sev]

Lol! Don't throw tofu dogs, either!

[Frieda P]

Hahaha that's so wrong!!!!!!!!!!! ;-P

[Androglossia]

Amen! (Please enter at least 25 characters.) LOL

[Frieda P]

Good idea Maryanne, so clever, you!

[Androglossia]

Just wanna say Amen to be more dramatic but this prompt ruined it. sigh*

[Frieda P]

I know, can't even just leave a smile ;-P

[Androglossia]

That I hate! Please enter at least 25 characters.

[Frieda P]

Who's the wise arse that thought this one up???

[Androglossia]

Those who complained about getting short reviews.. err.. I guess? (straight face) Opf.. I don't like short reviews, promise, so I'm one of you guys.. hehe

[Frieda P]

So people are just working around it, blahblahblah yadayadayada! ;-P

[Androglossia]

Uh-huh. It's called, be careful what you wish for, lol!

[Frieda P]

Ain't that the truth??? Oh geez.............................................!!

[ríða andlit]

What a coincidence! I was pouring margaritas last night. Sadly, I can't make them nearly as well as my husband and he's not home until Monday night.

Here's to all of us, anyway, and when the Cafe next farts, may it be downwind.

[Frieda P]

Midnight margarita's always a good idea, put de lime in de coconut and let's write it!

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Here, here!...I second that Sister!!
Much more fun to sling food... as a matter of fact, pour me a margarita...I'll drink to that!
Well said, in your Friedalicious way! Love it!~xoxo~:)

[Frieda P]

Ha I knew you'd go for it Robbie, Cheers! xoxox

[KeeD]

Amen to that!
lets not waste our insults gotta save some for the in-laws!

[Frieda P]

In-laws!!? When did you get married?

[KeeD]

You didn't say yes as yet :P so i'm saving myself for you Miss P.
Just meant you need to save them for the in laws, present or future :P

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh hell woman stop being so crass! We did not start this crap and I for one am not taking any blame for it so what is there to stop?

[Frieda P]

Lighten up John, don't get your kilt all up in a knot! I have no clue why I love you so much, oh yeah...you're difficult! What kind of pie do you prefer to get hit with sweet cheeks? ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

I don't know what's funnier...this clever piece or the fact there is a Alcoholism Rehab Center ad attached to the video you posted...Seriously...I can't decide xD

I like the sentiment in this piece, especially given what I learned today. I always seem to miss the height of the drama here (intuition, perhaps?) I feel like those kids at the end of Pink Floyd's The Wall who are picking through the debris after the wall collapses...I just sort of walk around, rather oblivious, and pick up the pieces, not really knowing how sharp the edges are...

*sigh*

xoxo

[Frieda P]

YOU would freaking notice that!! Lucky you, stay oblivious, it works much better at the asylum, thanks the kimmer! xox

[KAOlmsted]

I thought maybe you were trying to tell me something xD

Always my pleasure, lady...and...who what where? ;-)

[ChemicalMadness]

It's pretty easy, people....read who you want to read. Make a friend or two. Review pieces you like. Help where you can. If you see something you don't like, walk away. If you want to play, invite someone to play. Forget about rankings....you're not walking away like the winner of The Voice. This is a writing site, not the lottery.

[Frieda P]

Crappola, there's no grand trip to Hawaii for topping this bat shyte asylum, now you tell me!

[Ken Simm.]

I'll bring the sheets for the food fight. Give them a flash title like the Apotheosis of Poets and I can sell them afterwards.

[Frieda P]

Always thinking....always thinking.....

[Ken Simm.]

Its what I'm always thinking about that's the problem.

[Frieda P]

If that's your biggest problem, you're doing alright my dear friend ;-)
