Hello, Tristan,
This poem reminds me of the, John Candy documentary, I Like Me. How he was encouraged, threatened even to keep his weight as this was a part of his comedic and acting persona as perceived by the public, where as in fact, he was a wonderful actor/ comedian, be he overweight or not. A very fine poem, indeed, my friend.
Fond regards,
Tony.

A defiant rejection of prejudice, affirming that human dignity transcends stereotypes and that love must confront, not accommodate, fear.

Hello, Tristan,
I\'m after reading this splendid piece of literature with great care and it is well worth publishing so much so that it doesn\'t need editing - straight to print it is that good. Much praise for this one, my friend.
Do take care now,
Tony.

A strong message in this poem I loved the line \"Retrobates chew on the cud of fear.\" Is the neologism retrobates purposeful here it seems appropriate as is or was it meant as reprobates. A lovely play. Nicely done my friend.

The Power of being original even if it\'s sometimes devastatingly awkward for the sake of peace is something I myself would never consider, the sheep can walk in groups I\'ll be walking on the edge originally me, and believe me being a foreigner in a small town is sometimes hard to do, just as well I\'m loved by most! 🤣 🐑 🌹

There’s a fierce moral urgency here, challenging the way fear turns human judgment into a kind of social violence, with the Norman Bates reference, angry birds, and biting language giving the poem an appropriately confrontational edge. “I would rather love than live in fear!” is the keeper for me, because it cuts through the wordplay and accusation to reveal the poem’s central conviction: a person’s worth should never depend on how comfortably they fit someone else’s expectations.

Ahh! Sounds like an episode of Eastenders (in UK). Don\'t know if it\'s online, but pretty horrific to see! lol. A load of miserable, gloomy people.
Has Popeye a pet raccoon? lol. Ol\' Tom\'s knitting a coat for his dog, so he says. Has he got a dog? WCAT!

Believe me there was a house like this on my childhood home in London, it is as proper haunted and it\'s aura was always ugly, and believe me when I tell you that it is still in my dreams. 🌹 Fabulous poem

This is dark, disturbing, and incredibly provocative poetry.
What strikes me most is the way you weave grotesque imagery with dark humor and social commentary.
The contrast between an ordinary family setting, a restaurant menu, and the horrifying act of revenge makes the piece even more unsettling.
The ending, particularly the play on the discounted menu, is chillingly clever. Beneath its shock value, I sense a deeper statement about objectification, entitlement, and the consequences of treating another human being as something to be consumed rather than respected.
A bold and unforgettable piece

I always thought that if I went to the U.S. One of the first things I\'d do is go to a Diner. Seen them in many films over the Years. See if Meg Ryans there .
Was it \'Theatre of Blood\' where our friend Vincent Price made a meal containing a Man\'s Dog: And he ate it unawares.
Nice one.

Nicely written. Your poem reflects on the unsettling nature of a man who, despite engaging in a horrific act, maintains a facade of normalcy by joking with his family and ordering food.
