Jughead!

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem "Jughead!" presents a narrative about a goat's encounter with a tin can, using a light-hearted tone and informal language. The narrative structure is clear, with a beginning, middle, and end, which helps to maintain reader interest.

However, the poem could benefit from more consistent rhythm and rhyme. The irregularity of the meter and rhyme scheme can be disorienting for readers. For example, the lines "They put him up into a truck / and rushed him off to the vet" have a clear rhythm and rhyme, but this is not maintained throughout the poem.

The poem also uses a mix of formal and informal language, which can be jarring. For example, the phrase "free the pollution" is more formal than the surrounding language, which includes phrases like "old jugheads fat arse". A more consistent tone might help to enhance the poem's overall impact.

The use of imagery in the poem is effective, particularly in the description of the goat eating and the tin can getting stuck. However, the poem could benefit from more sensory detail to further immerse readers in the narrative.

The poem's conclusion, in which the problem is resolved by the goat passing the tin can, is humorous and unexpected. However, the resolution could be foreshadowed earlier in the poem to enhance its impact.

Overall, the poem has a clear narrative and uses humor effectively, but could benefit from more consistent rhythm, rhyme, and tone, as well as more sensory detail.

try using the word (ingested) in stead of (engulfed) you may want to punctuate the poem with:

Jug-head was a billy goat
tied to the end of a rope.
Munching on clover
and all kinds of stuff.
Something got caught
way down In his throat!

They put him into a truck (removed the word up)
and rushed him off to the vet.
To see whether they
could extract the tin can,
that so easily He had ingested.

To their dismay (Removed the word : but)
old Jug-head had swallowed it whole.
The best solution
was to free the pollution
by farming him out
with a nanny goat.
Where in due time it might pass
right out old Jug-heads fat arse!

A very entertaining piece of comedy! I enjoyed it very much!

follow Candlewitch's advice, there is nothing that I would add to it, except to decapitalize the He. The only time I would capitalize he, she, it, would be if they were a proper deity, royalty or some significant personage. ~ Nicely done for the most part. ~ Geez.

Hello Leslie, my old dad had a goat(among a flock of rare breed chickens,ducks etc.). He didn't dare put his pipe down near it cos it would chomp away on it. Funny thing was that the smoke made it pee. Loved this. It would be easy to make suggestions but I'm not. Alex,
