I met a strange man from Nantucket
a gunslinger named Samuel Puckett
standing four foot three
on two knobby knees
riding off on a shetland named Nugget.

You are too kind my dear friend. I'm struggling trying to learn this form..but it is one I find I kinda like. Like the old saying goes, if at first you don't succeed....... give up??? lol
It's back to the drawing board for meeeeeee

Or...
standing but four foot three,
and on two knobby knees,
with a girlfriend named Little Miss Muffet.
It doesn't have to be "-ucket" It just has to fit, and make sense. You've done well here, just adding my two cents, trying to editorialize the judging. Bad me! Evil Me! Good luck, you! -
Funny!
Wow, this was great. So fill with snickers. You did great. Best of luck in the contest
-
-
Thank you young man.. as this is my first attempt..seems I have alot yet to learn, but it's such fun!!

That was funny! Totally captured my mind with the image. One gunslinger I would not want to get into a gunfight with! Nice

Thank you for reading and commenting, I appreciate the kind words.

Thank you..but I gotta edit it.. eek and it hurts lol
-

Work it out.
I'll need the last line to rhyme and flow with the first two. Other than that I love it! My sons name is Sam, so of course, he loves it too. And he's eight, and you used buttocks, so he's also laughing hysterically. Thanks for the entry, just work on that last line.
