>Fun little bit of word-play there…and I'll admit I had to look the title up on good old Google, but it certainly gave me a smile when I did. Works nicely. My one critique: The black text on black background! Had to highlight the whole thing 😛
>I really enjoyed reading this, I love the voice behind the poem!
>Is there a hidden purpose I'm not getting with the black on black? Highlighting is an awkward read. But I like your writing, jerry, and I do like this poem, even if you made me work for it. Title alone repaid the effort, and I also like the gnat defined and the lack of concern about bouncing and breaking because holding it up is just too much effort anyway. Last line's a killer.
>Clever set up. It be too bad though that somany eyes need to be re-revolutionized.
>Sorry about the black on black my PC is acting up. Not intentional
>ha thought you were playing a trick on us there…nicely played jerry…poor gnat…smiles…revolutionize my eyes please…
>(Just highlight the text and it's easy to read)Reminds me of the adage about milking a dead cow… or was that beating a dead horse? Something to do with dead farm animals anyway.Nice One Shot, Jerry!
>"and squeezing the mysteryout of a gnat"oh, that's good.
>Wit, humor and ideas…I like the deconstruction…
>Why does this sound like a commentary on the academy? Great poem, Jerry,
>ouch – my eyes hurt afer reading this…smilesdo you really have the name "sitzfleisch" in english…this is such a typical german word and means when you visit someone and won't leave before it's really late – they will say you had sitzfleisch – enough meat on certain parts on your body to sit at for a while…
>Sorry Claudia. The print color was unintentional. Ha! I was waiting for your response. The definition of the word of the day said something about being bored…I like your def better. Its German week on wor of the day e-mail… Maybe I'll try a 55 with another German word…
