I really liked this. Were the three stanzas that are all together like that on purpose? Cos I know this website can really bugger up formatting. But anyway, good narrative poems are pretty rare round here. (I certainly can't do them anyhoo.) And I thought this was very good.

Very nice. Was this a true story?

This line confuses me:

"Were it asked of Widower Jones."

The beginning was great, the middle was a little boring, the end was amazing. The last three stanzas were my favorite.

Nice work.
