It's a poem not brain surgery. Not solving the world's hunger problem. Not making room for more pain in living with
a loved one in the War.
The fact its light hearted should be enough...
A small smile, a twinkle in one's eye..
Enjoy the poem for what it is.... A funny read!
at an interesting view. Light or not, look into the meter like YDD recommended. Ogden Nash and Dorothy Parker were wizards at light verse. Though funny, their well crafted meter and rhyme is what made it so much more than just an amusing anecdote. Work to get each stanza to flow with a similar sound to them. Read it outloud and listen for the stresses in the phrasing. Light verse like this one is so much tastier when the meter works. The rhyme works well here.
