The lyric of the cabbage

Oh, institutionalised vegstable of choice, How wonderful, wet and moiste, You fluted bundle of nutritious joy, Brings bright colour, to the cheeks of girl and boy, In dark cells, with no light of day, You make even doctor Lector, feel happy and gay, To lick ones lips with anticipation, You bold reliever of constipation, On harp strings, those of death row, sing your praise, As in that boiling pot you laze, And those who leave her majesties leisure, Talk of the infinte cabbage pleasure, Alone the handsome prisoner rugged, About to be woefully buggered, Oh, how he waits to be let out, And finally savour your child ... the sprout

Ok a Poem about vegatables that mentions Dr. Lector? Just for mentioning the last name of Hannibal you Would get a ten by me but still, Cabbage? Hows an 8 sound.

I couldn't have written this love poem for a cabbage, well done I bet you were knackered after. Its not something i can offer contructive criticism on (as you begged for in the suggestions page) as its non serious. However you found originality with this so.....8

By the way you have had more comments from people from what you have commented on

The commas, the commas...NOOOOO

You are most certainly better at writing these lighthearted ditties than the poems of yours.
I'm thinking an 8 sounds about right.
