JCH This is a bit too clever for me. I suspect you had an overpowering urge to write in Q&A format, and simply had to get it out of your system! MAH

Interesting questions with answers.....certainly you know your stuff poet......now for me I have no clue about midoz for men but if I ever find that hairdresser I will check it out and let you know. Great read for a chuckle or two.....interesting facts to remember for playing other games as well.

Dear James, This style is different, for you. Questions and answers, mixed randomly verse to verse. It's a great play on words, and thoughts - so it is thought provoking. I do wonder what Midoz is? Couldn't find it in the dictionary, but didn't think it was misspelled either, so I'm naturally curious about that. I imagine you posted this one for fun - and I did laugh about the women and cats being terrorists! Also got a laugh out of Alice and your reference to the rabbit hole. The poet holds the power, of what is truly being said - so I'm interested on what fueled this write. sincerely, Denimari

My presumption is that the entire piece is written as a satire to those who believe they know something of substance when substance is seldom a concrete item. Half truths and media matters; michael moore and don imus; but aside from the satire- it is a perfect rendering of misinformation and truth. Mostly, I only responded here because I thoroughly enjoyed the read. To just sit tight and smile at a piece from your pen is a pleasure; and seldom seen. Enjoyed it- Would change "are all arabs terrorists" to "are all islamists terrorists"- all arabs are not muslim, but the fast majority of terrorists are islamists. Excellent, fun, read. It just occurred to me that you might have meant this to be a somber satire- oops.

Hi James....I laughed and laughed at this poem. It is so full of fun and the Q & A style you used is priceless as well as excellent. The question about who Shakespeare was is such a howl and when I read your last line I about fell out of my chair! Actually, you had to know quite a bit about these questions in order to even ask them, let alone answer them. Funny, intelligent and interesting subjects for your next cocktail party! Well done, my friend, well done! Thanks for the giggle....Marilyn

James, Very unusual write; definitely a gray matter stimulator. Not familiar with Midoz however brings to mind Midol and pamprine....PMS....LOL. Now my favorite part of your write has to be the last two sets of questions and answers....love your humor and wit, so succinct in coaxing one to think beyond the perverbial box. Kudos! Best, Lora
