Lobster For Lunch Comments

One reader has praised the rhymes in this poem. The rhyme scheme is regular in all the six stanzas, each with six lines; the rhyme scheme being, ABABCC. There are many poems in the anthologies, some with apt rhymes; but what I look for is the meaning, the phrases, the images, the associations they inspire in me as a reader. I think Lewis Carroll's verses in his two 'Alice' books are worth reading both for the craft and the humour of verse: I was reminded of 'The Lobster and the Carpenter' as a parallel.

This poem is so interesting and cool

This has long been one of my favorite poems. R W Service was a great poet. His two most famous are THE CREMATION OF SAM McGEE and THE SHOOTING OF DAN McGREW.

Marvelous flow of rhyme and the story poem. Enjoyed the twist in the end. Thanks for sharing.

very good rhymes.... nice poem

It shows boredom sets in at the closing chapter of one's life.Maxim Gorky has a similar story entitled Jovani Tuba.It is a good work.
